if you are not interested in shooting the biggest animals, the prices fall quickly and i have found that hunting on privite ranches call drop the total cost even more. i have hunted in four africa countries on seven different ranchs and had a very good time and hunts. 22 animals from buffalo to dikker. i have brought hides and horns home, but no mounts. this june will be my fourth trip and maybe my last as old age(72) may get me. i can only say if you get a chance to go, GO. as the hunting for most animals is still very good. and i have never seen a hunter carry his rifle by the barrel on the shoulder, must be a tv thing. eastbank.
