You will spend as much in taxidermy as you do the hunt

Take cash everything is negotiable in Africa.

That is absolutely true particularly if you are flexible. If you are locked into a contract specifying X, Y, Z animals you're kind of stuck and the outfitter has to ensure he can get you an opportunity on them.

If however you give him a wish list and room to maneuver lots of opportunities can suddenly pop up.

I had a couple of spur of the moment deals come together on my trip literally within seconds of, "Hey there's a ... do you want one?"

Of course Francois did all my negotiating for me so all I had to do was concentrate on making a good shot AFTER he said, "we'll take it, shoot".
