What is going on with the prices demanded by some South African Safari Operators? I just clicked on the website of one operator, and I couldn't believe their prices for a plains game hunt.
1 X 1 $425.00 US per day
2 X 1 $350.00
Observer $175.00

Trophy Fee Examples
Baboon $100.00
Burchell's Zebra $1100.00
Giraffe $4500.00
Hartman's Zebra $2600.00
Nyala $2350.00
Red Hartebeest $1500.00
Springhare $100.00
Jackal $100.00

The days before and after the hunt starts are charged at the full hunting rate.

All per diem fees, and anticipated trophy fees to be paid in advance by telegraphic transfer prior to your safari.

IMO this is bordering on lunacy.
