I am returning to South Africa for my second hunt, this time will use outfitters guns. Should I still use agent like TWG, or Gacey to book travel. Lodgeing, ripcord. Etc. or are they mostly for hunters taking guns. Thanks in advance

I always use camp rifles and book my own airfare. No problem after 13-14 safaris and never paid extra to a travel agent. YMMV....

I used TWG (Patrick) on my recent hunt, returned within the last 48 hours, and was very pleased with his service.
Flew with Qatar and was very pleased with flights.

Things are very fluid in RSA with flights. Airlink canceled one leg on very short notice so was glad I had help.

I’m glad to hear everything went smooth with your flights. My brother and I leave on the 6th to Maun. We have to do the Qatar rout as well

Use TWG will make it much easier with or without guns. In all the trips I have been there rates are always cheaper than the rates I can find myself.

I've used both TWG and Travel Express both are fantastic.
