Further to this, I'm still negotiating exact prices, but I don't expect any dramatic increases for next year.

We're going to be offering a simple daily rate which will include everything except tips, trophy fees and bar bills.

Minimum hunting time will be 7 days and now I've re-negotiated, it's now possible to hunt more than one Elephant (or most other species) on a 7 day hunt. The area has plenty of Elephant and it should be reasonably easy for the average hunter to take more that one Elephant in 7 days hunting. We still have a few vacancies for this year for any brave souls who don't mind the heat.

An example of costs (for 2004) is a 7 day - 1x1 hunt taking 2 Elephant Bulls (I don't usually believe in taking seperate cows as it upsets the herd dynamics too much) costs a total of US$13950. If you want a 7 day 1x1 hunt & 1 elephant Bull it will cost US$9950

........ not cheap, but a whole lot less than most Elephant hunts.
