I'm booked to hunt leopard, buffalo, hippo, croc, and plainsgame next year in Zambia. We have the daily-rate locked-in at the price we agreed to at the time of booking, but the trophy fees are going to increase somewhat for us.

After next season, I'll likely hunt buffalo in Mozambique or possibly even Zimbabwe (if Zim's still feasible), but due to these astronomical price increases, I'm done with Tanzania, and I'm thankful for the two safaris I've enjoyed there.

If need be, I'll just enjoy plainsgame hunting in the future, which is really more my thing than increasingly expensive, iconic "dangerous game" hunting is anyway.

Today's price climate is just one great big, stellar reason why I've always recommended that anyone who's interested in Africa hunt there as much as possible, RIGHT NOW, because tomorrow may really and truly never come..........
