the message says 60k is cheap and indeed it may look like this is the way it is going.

Unfortunately if you get to know how much of thos 60K are actually being used to make room for the future of elephants, lions and buffalo you would be very, very sad.

African safari prices are high (and getting higher) not because they reflect the high costs of african logistics (you can read here from no roads, to fuel shortages all the way to the famour bribes).

It is true that these costs are indeed very high, but the the reason the hunts are more expensive is just supply and demand. Lots of very wealthy people who don´t see much reason to take the money to their graves.

This leads some to go on hunts so expensive that I think the meaning of the hunt is somewhat lost. It is like the sheik who bought the new Airbus 380 as his 747 jumbo was not big enough for him anymore...

Yes, I can still throw a gun on my truck, split the gas with a friend and shoot buffalo on some friends ranchs. I may spend a week and take two or three bulls for 500 or 600 US$ (the price of two .470 ammo boxes!!!!).

But yet I would gladly pay the 60k if I had to. So I am part of the problem. But Africa is dear to us.
