There is a small list of African outfitters listed in the http://Safaris.NitroExpress.com links or use the link on the menu above.

Further to Mike's idea another idea would be to visit one or more of the safari shows run each year in the USA usually in the Jan to March period and just walk around and talk to as many outfitters as you can. Face to face - who knows you might just find someone willing to give you a go.

Seeing your interest the shows are probably worth looking at anyway.

I still think you will be very lucky if you find someone to pay airfares for you. This is a big chunk of hard currency for an outfiiter operating out of Africa. Many of the African ones have issues with sending people to the US themselves for these shows and budget hard to do it.
