My Outfitter and I talked about this at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show. He mentioned all the factors already stated, but also said it has to do with if the outfitter works in Dollars or Rand and value of the Dollar against the Rand.

Some outfitters figure all there operational expenses in dollars and charge in dollars. Other operate in Rand and do the conversion to dollars.

The Rand has been right around 10 to the dollar for a while, but has recently gone up to 6.5 to dollar. My Outfitter said he was able to hold the line this year, but next year if the Rand doesn't go back down he is going have to raise his rates. He said others have already raised their rates to compensate

He also told me that bookings are up this year over last year and the year before.
