10K in fees? You're saying you've saved $1000 fees on each of your last 10 safaris. I don't get your numbers.
Now my circumstance is different than yours, I'm Canadian.
Here is my experience.
Canadian Export Permit: free if I do it myself. It's easy.
Netherlands Transit Permit: free. It's easy.
KLM: no penalties or fees for travelling with a gun, just make sure you and your travel agent properly advise them making sure to cross t's and dot i's.
South Africa pre-approved SAPs Firearms Permit. Let's say $300. I could do it myself, but Anne Gaines-Burrell of Air 2000 Hunter's Support makes it so easy that it would be stupid not to hire her. I have used a number of her services and my time in the OR Tambo airport is a pleasure. I won't go without it.
Plus I get great pleasure out of using my own rifle and my own handloads.
