Selecting A Safari Outfitter

[Philip Glass]

Here is my latest video with some thoughts to consider as you select an outfitter and plan a safari. This is directed towards a typical plains game safari that you would find in South Africa or Namibia.

Phillip, I really appreciate your videos! Great advise from your experience of, "been there, done that".

Going to DSC and talking to people was the best decision I made!

Great video!

OT, but I`m interested in the skinny on that Pelican hard-sidled suitcase in the background - including the storage liner.

Yea I just got the suitcase last year and it will be on its third safari soon. I am happy with it but they are expensive and unforgiving being hard sided versus an expandable suitcase. With 3-4 safaris or international trips a year I can justify it.

Always so appreciate your videos!!!

I have only discovered your videos since joining AH. If I had seen them before my S.A. trip I could have avoided a few things (That have kept me from posting a hunt summary of trip #1)
Thank you. I will definitely be using info learned from you and AH forum before I return.

Badjer, it is always nice to read a hunt report, the good along with the bad. It may help someone else from falling into the pit traps that happen.

On my first Safari the hunt went fantastic, but then we hired out outfitter as a guide for the next week and a half. After the second day I flat out told him that we needed to slow down so that we could see the country. He was so busy getting us from one attraction to the next that we were missing some of the most beautiful areas in South Africa on our trip along the southern cost and then through the wine country. I also told him after one horrific night stay in a "wayfarers inn" that I would be happy to spend more money just to get a good nights sleep and a hot shower than staying in a place that is more inclined to those who were trying to do it on the cheap.

Once we came to these understandings the rest of the time was fantastic.
