In 2018 I may have had a beer too many at a banquet and won the auction for a hunt in Limpopo. As it was a hunt for 4, I invited 3 friends to go with and we booked the hunt. In hindsight I wouldn’t go down that path again…. Ended up hunting on concessions much smaller than I prefer and all things considered I wouldn’t choose that outfit again - there are many people who like and enjoy their style of hunting and I’m not here to run their name in the ground. My point being, if you are going to spend the $ to go on a safari I would suggest researching the company and making sure your expectations will be met prior to sending a deposit.
Things I have learned to inquire about:
1. How big are the concessions
2. How many concessions
3. How many clients they cycle through each year.
4. How many clients will be in camp at the same time
5. With is the client/PH ratio.
Then inquire with friends or knowledgeable hunters about their experiences and after all that compare their overall pricing to see if it fits the budget.
