SOUTH AFRICA: My First Hunt In Africa With Monterra Safaris

[JimT]

Finally able to work around Covid cancellations and make my first hunt in Africa. I went with Monterra Safaris in the Limpopo river region of South Africa and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The gave me the exact experience I wanted in what may be my only trip to Africa. Though it is true what they say, I fell right into immediately thinking of how to go back to Africa as soon as I was on the plane going home. The quality of the hunt experience, the lodgings, the food, the quality of the animals, and the professionalism and knowledge of the PH's at Monterra was just right for me. So here are some pics of my trophies to peak everyones interest on hunting in Africa.

Fantastic trophies. They are all exceptional but the teeth on your baboon is a trophy harder to get than most others. Well done

From my limited experience though with a lot of research under my belt - though not cheap a safari in Africa can be as expensive as you want it to be, so many variables - species and number of animals, length of hunt, transportation, taxidermy (or not), daily rates ( how much luxury do you require) - all factor into the expense.
