RE: African hunting Safaris
I hunted Africa in August of 2003, and I have to agree with all the others that posted here, you are treated like a king for a reasonable price. Be careful of some of the additional fees, dip and pack, and shipping back to the US. These are all necessary fees to receive your trophys but not always described accurately. I took eight animals on my hunt, kudu, gemsbok, zebra, blue and black wildebeast, blesbok, impala, and springbok. Hunted with Bethaven Safaris out of the eastern cape of SA. Plan on returning with my children when they get older. Also beware of some local customs, like when they hand you the canteen after taking your first animal. It was a hot day so I take a big gulp assuming its water. Canteen was full of South African moonshine which does not quench your thirst going down nor coming up. Good luck on your adventure, get familiar with shooting sticks, shots up to 300 yards, and familiarize yourself with the anatomy of their game, different vital stucture on those animals.
