Thank you so much for the wealth of information. I' m sure I' ll contact you several times before August. We booked with bethaven safaris out of Port Elizabeth. Check them out at www.bethavensafaris.com Like you mentioned the accomodations looked wonderful. They are providing us with their luxuary suite (whirlpool tub, ect) as my fiance and I are using this trip for our honeymoon. Like your wife, mine does not mind days spent videotaping hunts for me. I had to promise her the zebra though, she wants it to hang in her office. Thanks for the websites especially the lantic and cdc both very informative.

As for flights, I booked through www.luxuaryhunts.com and they supply an airline wholesaler for tickets. We will fly from Pittsburgh to Atlanta to Cape Town, and he anticipated tickets at about $1600 per. How much were your dip and pack fees or are you having them mounted overthere?

Any items you did not think of taking that you would have?
Which animals did you hunt, and average shot distance on them?

I' m using a Browning Stalker in 7mm WSM and 165 grain Fail Safe bullets for everything, I don' t think I' ll be under gunned as the ballistics on that gun are pretty impressive.

Also thanks for the buffulo, but large kudu would get me more excited.

Included in my hunt is one each kudu, gemsbok, zebra, wildebeest, impala, blesbok, and warthog. I traded away the smaller antelope for the gemsbok.
