I have been to RSA one time. Very nice time and very nice trophies with Madubula Safaris. Now, it's time to go back and a few aquaintenances, and their wives, are also interested in making the show. Duration of trip will be 10-14 days in country. Now, of course, I'm the "safari vet"(Right), so I get to suggest country and PH. This means the pressure's on me to make everyone happy which, of course, means I have fallen into the trap. Of course, two of us want to hunt sable, one of us wants to hunt buff, all want the typical plains game(kudu, eland, zebra, etc) and all of the women(3 wives) have indicated a preference for "a lodge with real beds, bathrooms, and a view" as opposed to a tented camp. This whole thing seems to point towards Zimbabwe given what I have to work with here, but, Zim is not mandatory. Suggestions for a safari company meeting the expectations are what I need. Any suggestions are appreciated. | ||

Mike You should first come up with a budget from each hunter. I would guess your looking at $15,000 - $25,000 for a 10-14 day buffalo sable hunt. If you you wanting a truly wild hunt? You options will be limited if you must have a lodge with real toilets and a view. Robert Johnson | |||

Some tented camps can be very luxurious with real beds, ensuite bathrooms and views too BTW. Have a look at some of the luxury tented game viewing camps. Undoubtably some hunting safari camps would offer similar for the right price. Pierre van Wyk in Zimbabwe was offering a luxury camp option for hunting safaris through HHK. Not sure about the ensuites but definitely a step up or two in style and tradition. The ladies will love it I think. It was being offered at Chirisa and is still featured on the HHK website.
Mobile luxury tented safari Have fun. | |||

HHK Safaris, www.hhksafaris.com, have fairly luxurious accomodations in most of their camps. They have chalets under thatch with insuite toilets and showers. The Lemco Conservancy has the species that you are looking for with very very good trophy quality. I can recommend them highly as I have hunted with them 5 times and I am scheduled for a sixth in 2007. 465H&H | |||
