I have a friend who is trying to decide on where and what he should hunt on his first safari. I have been to South Africa one time and had a great hunt, my only regret was not taking a buff since it may be the only time I ever go. I am advising him to hunt zimbabwe and take a buff. My reasoning, better overall experience i.e. large free ranging concessions, cost, and the regret he'll feel on just taking plains game. What do you think? What would you do? | ||

Have him check out www.brooklandssafaris.com Their Save area has big buff and a vast amount of plains game. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

I would (and did, the first time) go for buff. You never know. The next bus might hit you. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

If he definately wants a Buff, Zimbabwe would be the place to consider, as their trophy fee's are much less than other countries. If money isn't a concern, he has a number of good choices but may want to hunt White Rhino (or dart one) in RSA or Elephant, Lion or Leopard. A number of factors would dictate where I would recommend he go. If he knows about what he would like to hunt, how many days, price range, meds/shots versus no meds/shots, package hunt or a customized hunt, have him email me and I'll give him a call. Hope you get to go back to Africa.

If he wants Buffalo and plains game, another option is a 7 to 10-day plains game hunt in South Africa or Namibia combined with a 7-day Buffalo hunt in Tanzania. The air fare is is only a few hundred dollars more, the plains game hunt would be a lot less expensuve, and he gets the pleasure of two very different hunting experiences on one trip.
