To everyone who as posted and @AaronR8 for posting the question; thank you for the information as i am in the same spot as @AaronR8 was a while back. However, my question goes further than just where to go.

my question is how do I get there -- Who do you all use for flights from the eastern US- I'll drive to any airport and fly any airline - How do I take my wife, and son without spending a years salary on the flights alone?

United out of Newark has a direct flight to Johannesburg. Delta has a direct flight from Atlanta to Joburg. Economy round trip is about $1500. The use of a travel agent might be helpful to you. I use @TRAVEL EXPRESS Contact Jennifer and she'll find you a deal.

I am looking to book my first African hunt next year preferably between March - June 2024.

As this will be my first hunt I am looking for a whole package dozen't necessarily need to be long in days and long species list but I want to make sure my first experience is amazing.

From what I read I could even be better on a cull hunt and I'm not too worried on trophy's in this point in time, a major factor is where I live at present, would be suited to some rungs maybe but I would have zero wall space.

I am budget conscious for my first time as no doubt it won't be my last time, once I get the taste there will be may more hunts to plan and look forward to I would imagine!

If there are any company that have starter packages or some good direction I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron, I have hunted South Africa a few times..last year was amazing...I don't keep the heads or taxidermy either...for me I would rather use the $ for the next hunt...we are going June 9-20th with Lianga Safari near Louis Trichardt....you can reach out to me for more info...you could go with us in our group if you are looking for a group to travel with. We fly direct out of ATL TO JNB
