1st african hunting trip?
want to start the plan process to go hunt africa. What I am looking for is a 7-10 day hunt for buffalo and a few plains game,my hunting partner and I want to go and take our wives as well,not to hunt though. Looking for the least amount of traveling hassle and don't want to hunt in a fenced area.ANy advise to get started would be appreciated

thanks

Check out Brooklands Safaris.

Hunt their SAVE consession.

The hunting is awsome... Their facilities/food is great.

They even build a swimming pool, for my wife... Big Grin

Where do you live? The handle canam suggests you might be in Canada. That would make getting to Zim with your own rifles a serious pain.

Deffinately look at Steves website. Also look up a book called Safari Deams by Keneth Royce. If you have any problems finding the book let me know they're available at our local book shop.

What species are you looking toward? If free range plains game is what your after Namibia would be right at the top of my list.


Yes it's cocked, and it has bullets too!!!

For buffalo you really have only two choices, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.

Make sure the plains game animals you are after are actually available in the area you are going to hunt, especially in Tanzania.

For this situation, we send clients to a 75000 acre property on the SA side of the Limpopo. Yes it's fenced (on 3 sides, open to Zim on the river side). But it's easy to get to, very large, super PG in addition to Buffalo, and total cost will be less than or equal to Zim (without the hassle/cost of flying to Harare or BYO).
