[QUOTE="whiskeysnoot, post: 1823387, member: 4542"] Not ignorant at all! Be glad to answer anything about it. I went through ingwe-safaris.com. Main reason is a buddy of mine is the booking agent. Even though he's a buddy, I didn't get any special deals. What I paid will be the same as you pay. Other safari firms that I had looked at offered similar rates and fees. For 8 days, 1 on 1 guide, five animal package(Kudu, Gemsbok, Blesbok, Springbok, Impala), with all meals and accomodations. $5200 . Normally it's a 6 day hunt. I added 2 days for wingshooting. That $5200 paid for everything while I was there. Of course, you will have airfare costs, trophy preparation and shipping costs, and such. But altogether, I figured total cost is less than $10,000. Now, that was for the 5 animals listed. Anything additional you want, they have an a-la-carte menu listing trophy fees. For example, I wanted a warthog. $300 If you wanted a zebra, $1300. My extra kudu was $1200. All the countries there have different regs but in South Africa the trophy fee is paid to the landowner not the government. You can hunt anything you want there. All it takes is money. If you want to shoot a lion, be prepared for $50-60 grand. But if you're a working class guy like me, you can still go there and have an incredible experience. I have read about and been fascinated with Africa for 20 yrs. and have kept up with the costs to go. Dangerous game keeps getting more expensive but plains game is very reasonable. Check the site above and google some others. A lot of outfitters and all of them are pretty close to same price. Bottom line: Don't think it's beyond your means to go. If you hunt a lot you probably spend that much in a couple years hunting here. Borrow the money and go! [/QUOTE]
