Hey everyone, I've spent the past couple days reading most of the old threads in my spare time. Wish I'd found this site long ago!

My question is this, I was planning a caribou trip to Canada in a couple years but I got to thinking, why not Africa instead? It can be nearly the same cost if you shop around, at least from what I've seen. I have always wanted to do it and I convinced the wife to get me a .375 H&H for Christmas. But I need some advise. Should I go after just plains game on my first trip, or go straight for Buff which is what I really want. I have been hunting in the states for 25 years and I'm getting the wanderlust!

It will be at least 3 years before I go, and probably another 4 or 5 before I could go back.
