Africa Safari Hunting, anyone?

rc256

Did some research on Africa hunting. Price range from $5000 to $50K for various games. It is much cheaper than hunting in North America.
Anyone interested in joining me planning a trip in the next few years?

从哪个角度讲便宜？

Well. From the discount site, all five dangerous animals together is $45k for 29 day hunting. A 10day grizzly bear hunting along in Alaska or Canada is $10k to $20k.

For plaines games, the cheapest is 7 day 6 animals for $4k. A whitetail alone in US would be $2k to $8k and not guaranteed. And chances for Elk is 50% at best!

wish I had money and time for that kind of trip. Whitetail is cheap here, less than $100 for a whole season

And there are also packages for culling management. Basically you shoot a lot non trophy animals, but get to keep the skulls cheap.

How were your friend's experience? Any PHs to recommend or avoid? Even the European  cost that much?  I mainly want the rugs and just European mounts.

I am reading online forums, and the reports indicated some bad apples, but most of the outfitters are OK.

Elephant is the big one, cost the most. Wonder what did he do with the tusk
