after reading around on this forum a little and finally joining the forum im considering starting a savings account for an African hunt. the big question for me is what kinda total cost am I looking at? many of the companies offering safaris don't mention prices and even those that do are vague about the final price. im not looking to buy right now, id just like a number to set as a goal.
at the moment ive got two hunts that I would consider essential for what could potentially be my only safari. I MUST have a trophy warthog, ive loved these critters since I was old enough to say the name. the other hunt that I consider to be the pride of Africa and essential to what could be a one time trip would be a lion (a female is fine). other critters could be added to the menu depending on price and how successful I am at saving money. in my present financial situation I can set aside a little over $5000 a year but that could improve (could also get worse, but lets think positive).
ive discovered there are many "fenced hunts" that very affordable. I don't really like the idea of shooting a animal in a fenced in park, just doesn't feel right.
to the main question: how much money should I set aside for an African hunt (and taxidermy) that will primarily consist of a wild female lion and a trophy warthog?
im sure ill have many more questions in the future but ill probably spend more time reading around on the forum before I annoy too many of you.
thank you
