Hello Gary, you'll have a great time and a lot of memories!! I'll give a shot at answering some of your questions.
1. Yes, it will be the dry season, i.e., winter. Touch of frost on the pumpkin nights and daytime around 70F or so.
2. VAT, not sure, but I think we got ours written off. I don't know what % it is if you pay. I think since we were out of country and taking items out, it was excused. If we did pay, I don't know what the cost was, but couldn't have been much. Now if you mean VAT on Shipping, yes, we had to pay that, which was about $300, but that went to German customs.
3. Shipping depends, but just for an example, 4 of us shipped horns/skulls in one box & split it, these were the European mounts, cost was $1000, but that was to Germany, so I'm not sure what it would cost to Alaska. We still have shoulder mounts & hides in Windhoek that will be coming early next year, so I'll don't know what the S&H will run on that.
4. Don't know about IE airlines, but I suggest flying to Frankfurt GE and getting on Namibia Airlines.
Keep checking stuff out, and I bet you're looking forward to experiencing Africa, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
