Tanzania Trophy Fees
The schedule of 2008 trophy fees for Tanzania is now available. You'll recall that the hunting industry there recently struck a compromise with the Tanzanian government over the huge trophy and concession fee increases announced earlier this year. For sure, not everyone will be happy with the new fee schedule, but the finalized agreement is certainly good news for safari operators and would-be clients in a quandary these past months over the 2008 season.
Below are both the new fees and the previous schedule of fees for comparison:

Previous Tanzania Trophy Fees*
(*These are the fees that were in place for the 2007 season before the government proposed a huge last-minute increase. That increase was subsequently reduced. Just how much it was reduced is not known for certain at this point, however, as the actual trophy and concession fees for the 2007 season have still not been published as this is uploaded. Generally, the actual 2007 trophy fees are expected to be about 15 percent higher than those shown below. Concession fees are expected to be about 50 percent higher.)
