The Maneaters of Kumaon has always been a favourite book of mine. Some years ago myself and my wife went to India for a holiday. Part of that was my pilgrimage to Kaladhungi and Nanital where Jim Corbett had both his summer and winter homes. We met an old man, this was 27 years ago, who...

Who are you hunting with ? DM me if you want to be discreet.

You should be able to get some good springbok and oryx shooting down south of Windhoek in the Kalahari within your budget. I was there in March.
