Is that Cameroon or CAR safari n reach?

Gentleman and ladies,

According to my calculations in recent days the EURO has slipped about 13% against the US dollar. That means if a safari in CAR was priced in Euros equivalent to $50,000 at the Reno show that same safari will cost you $43,500 today. It would seem that the Euro will be on the decline for a while yet but the safari operators in Cameroon and CAR are not going to hold their prices forever with their safaris become less valuable each day. Perhaps now is the time to make a plan for that Lord Derby eland or bongo. Contact me anytime for some ideas.

Mark,
I do believe you make good sense, as I am dangerously close to pulling the trigger on CAR for the spring because of this.

Mark, you may well be right that the outfitters won't hold their prices forever with the Euro going lower- but are they really stupid enough to think they can sell more hunts if they raise prices? and if they shift prices to dollars, unless the conversion is at the "old" rate, they will still be out of luck. Central African outfitters were more than happy to use Euros when it worked to their advantage. now the worm has turned and they ain't real pleased- too bad!!!!!!! bottom lines is, you are right. this is a good time to save some money- just wish i had enough to pull the trigger.
