Looking for my First Hunt

Welcome to AH, you are at the right forum to plan your hunt.
 
To everyone who as posted and @AaronR8 for posting the question; thank you for the information as i am in the same spot as @AaronR8 was a while back. However, my question goes further than just where to go.

my question is how do I get there -- Who do you all use for flights from the eastern US- I'll drive to any airport and fly any airline - How do I take my wife, and son without spending a years salary on the flights alone?

United out of Newark has a direct flight to Johannesburg. Delta has a direct flight from Atlanta to Joburg. Economy round trip is about $1500. The use of a travel agent might be helpful to you. I use @TRAVEL EXPRESS Contact Jennifer and she'll find you a deal.

I am looking to book my first African hunt next year preferably between March - June 2024.

As this will be my first hunt I am looking for a whole package dozen't necessarily need to be long in days and long species list but I want to make sure my first experience is amazing.

From what I read I could even be better on a cull hunt and I'm not too worried on trophy's in this point in time, a major factor is where I live at present, would be suited to some rungs maybe but I would have zero wall space.

I am budget conscious for my first time as no doubt it won't be my last time, once I get the taste there will be may more hunts to plan and look forward to I would imagine!

If there are any company that have starter packages or some good direction I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,
Aaron
Aaron, I have hunted South Africa a few times..last year was amazing...I don't keep the heads or taxidermy either...for me I would rather use the $ for the next hunt...we are going June 9-20th with Lianga Safari near Louis Trichardt....you can reach out to me for more info...you could go with us in our group if you are looking for a group to travel with. We fly direct out of ATL TO JNB

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
