Is retiring to Africa a wise decision?

[VertigoBE]

Just to provide an update. You can’t in places like Rapter Estates in Hoedspruit for a 4BR 3 Baths for $1500 per month. Stay June through August each year as a base of hunting operations $4500. After reading all responses this seems like the best decision. Three months in a gated secure awesome wildlife area easy jump to anywhere in Africa to hunt with no capital investment. If I can convince the beautiful Mrs. Rarebreed I would spend 9 months in US and three months Hoedspruit

I'm also thinking along these lines. Especially to be able to spend the summer holidays, with my kids surrounded by wildlife (on 4 legs, instead of wild life on 2 legs), while still working from distance half the time. At first maybe renting, but eventually why not purchasing something that can be rented out the rest of the year. The latter would likely allow for more options for keeping a rifle in SA (anyone have any insights into this?)

Looking forward to seeing more of your dream place @Rare Breed.
