Welcome Gary! Peruse the deals section and you may find that a trip to Africa could be closer than you thought.
If you study up and shop hard for flights, use the gear you have, maybe nice pictures, some skulls and skinns rather than all out taxidermy and you could make it happen. Even consider the off season.... don't be afraid to open a dialog to find out what is possible.
There are some really great outfitters on here who like to make things happen!
