I've been to the Eastern Cape of South Africa three times over the past 12 years, and shot 31 animals of 20+ species with the same outfitter. I've had a great time, but I still haven't done everything there is to do in that one specific area of one country. The variety and amount of game you'll see in Africa is truly amazing. As Flags said, there are many countries and many different types of hunts - desert, savannah, brushveld, rain forest, mountains, swamps - and more species than you could shoot in a lifetime.

That said, Alaska is somewhere I definitely intend to hunt in the future. Any non-lodge based Alaska hunt is more of a challenge or adventure than most of what you'll do in Africa. Dollar for dollar I'll pay a lot more for an animal in Alaska, but a moose or Dall sheep on my wall will mean a lot more than another springbuck or impala.
