I know that prices will tend to vary from Outfitter to Outfitter, ranch vs free-range and Country by Country. I'm looking for ballpark "typical" pricing for the above species to get a better understanding of how much to budget for.

I'd be interested to see South Africa Vs Not South Africa (Fenced vs Not Fenced) prices as well as hunt cost Vs total costs (including trophy fees, taxidermy, import/export etc). Do you generally double the listed hunt price for your all -in including the above and travel?

From what I am seeing it looks for the hunt itself you can hunt 5-7 plains game for under $10,000 USD, Cape Buffalo for around the $10,000 USD mark and the others being many multiples of those.

Does a lion hunt generally cost more than Buffalo? Rhino cost more than Elephant? Where does Hippo fit in?

Thank you,
