I won my safari at an NRA auction. $2,000 for 4 people, 5 days, no animals included but the drinks were
It was a great trip in that I was able to go to Africa, for that it was worth it. The downside was the hunts were on very small properties and the quality of animals was not top notch. I learned a lot and planned accordingly for the next trip. Ask about concession size and average animal size. The little things also add up, get firm pricing locked in writing to avoid misunderstandings.
It’s a sunk cost - you spent the $ and it is what it is at this point. Go and have fun, it’s a beautiful country - you will then be better equipped for your second and third trips. I too said “this is a once in a lifetime trip” well, as most will mention - they too only planned on going once.
