In a nutshell, I've found that top-quality plainsgame-only hunts work out to a cost of about $1,000 per head of game, a number which includes all actual safari costs, as well as transportation, tips, miscellaneous expenses, and so forth.

To me, the best dangerous game deals in Africa are the short 7 or 10-day buffalo hunts in Tanzania. You can get two buffalo on these hunts (which would require to seperates safaris anywhere else) as well as plainsgame that's unique to East Africa, plus the luxury, tradition, and feel of East Africa, and on some of these safaris, those costly aircharters are included in the price, or else the safari company picks you up right at the airport and transports you directly to camp in a vehicle.

Jim McCarth Adventures had two outstanding hunting opportunities for a very fair price.

One is a 7-day, 2 X 1 buffalo special @ $7500 that includes buffalo trophy fees. The other is an 8-day plainsgame package in Botswana that's priced at $7,950 1 X 1, and includes trophy fees for kudu, gemsbuck, eland, blue wildebeest, steinbuck, and round-trip airfare from the USA to Jo-Berg. You may also take other species for additional trophy fees.

That, dear friends, is a true plainsgame bargain, and it takes place in a country that is, as a rule, extremely expensive to hunt............
