The best safari would seem to occur when both hunter & PH understand each others expectations on a DG hunt.

It is great to have a super PH but what does the PH need to know about the Hunter and in what order??

How much $$$ to spend and priority and desired number of animals to harvest? Options for hunting less preferred animals if desired game not available.

Hunter shooting ability?? What biggest gun does hunter like to shoot and how well can he shoot it? How about Specific GUN Drills to complete and report back to the PH. How fast and how accurate can he shoot? What gun/guns will he bring?

Hunter physical limitations, physical condition, and medical conditions-diseases, age, required accessories(eyeglasses,meds,drug habituations ie alcohol,smokes etc)How long does the Hunter take to briskly walk 2 miles? Specific goals to achieve? Any chronic diseases etc? Language barrier?

Hunter's prior game experience. Most dangerous hunting situation faced previously.Level of danger tolerated? Maybe DG is out of the question, feared as too risky. Most feared wild game phobia- snakes,insects,type of DG,claustrphobia in thick vegetation, poor visibility,etc,etc

We can go on and on.Any other info that the PH would need to know about his client for a great Safari? Anyone with suggestions on how to get the best PH fit with his hunter please chime in!!
