New from Northern Arizona

[steveaqha]

planning a trip to Free state South Africa for next June with my son in law and two grandkids with Lungile Safaris. We won auction on hunt at the Northern Arizona Elk Society dinner and auction for planes game, each of us for two animals. Would like to add a couple animals but definitely unsure on what to expect, cost for shipping trophies back to state's, gun choice. Have used a .270 here in the states for decades taking everything from coyotes to elk so a possibility or maybe move up in caliber.
Thanks for add and hope to learn alot.

Welcome to the site, you can get information overload here fairly quickly.

What two animals were in the package?

What animals would you really like to shoot?

I looked at their price list and it doesn't look too bad for your extra animals

Would love a Kudu but most possibly a Zebra.

Welcome! I'm new around here, too, and just returned from my first safari (Eastern Cape, SA). This place is a fantastic wealth of information and will help you tremendously as you plan - I found it invaluable. Enjoy the planning!

Welcome from southeastern AZ!

This is great site for all kinds of info.

Definitely add some animals. We just got back from our first trip over. Like you we did an auction hunt. My daughter an I added plenty of animals so plan a budget and then go. My daughter’s package was for a Zebra, Impala, and springbok. Mine was for a Blue Wildebeest, Impala, and warthog. My daughter added a steenbok and a blesbok. I let my son (who went along as an observer) shoot my blue wildebeest, then added a kudu, Nyala and porcupine. I also let my son shoot a warthog.

The zebra are beautiful I would highly suggest adding one. Also don’t overlook duiker and steenbok. They are relatively inexpensive and are beautiful in their own right. Blesbok are another inexpensive add on along with warthog. And who doesn’t want a Kudu!

Welcome from North Texas. A group of us are gone 8/10/25. Information overload is a correct statement. If I’ve thought about it, I’ve read about here. what are the animals did the trip come with? Could you trade those for the Kudo?

I definitely want to add a zebra and open to other's, kudu is a classic. I'm sure my son in law will be adding animals especially with his boy's. Am thinking of taking either a .270 or 6.8 western for myself and even thinking about taking my bow along ‍.
I worry more about getting them back home..lol

This is our animal list, my understanding is cannot exchange animals so Kudu would be extra along with Zebra.
