How do you even begin a trip to Africa? That has always seemed awesome, yet impossible for me, yet I see more and more guys go every year! Congrats man!

It’s not impossible. I’m a blue collar guy that works in the timber industry. I got lucky, my hunt was purchased at an OHA banquet. From there I researched and budgeted.

It is just deciding to go really. Make a budget and see all what you can do. Here is some basics. Airfare 2000 hunt 5000 to 6000 for say 5 animals and 7 days. Hunt can even be less depending on what you want to hunt. If you want mounts or euros mounts 2000 to 4000 a year later then shipping home 2000 to 3500 depending on work you had done. Can cost more or less all depending on what you want to do.

Looks like that hartabeest is a very good one. All one shot kills? Some of those critters can be tough.

Thank you for the kind words. One shot kills, except for the impala. That’s a story for another time. Ha

Billc,

I have read a lot of your posts. Some of my research was based off of your words, so thank you for that!
