This is very interesting...if I must say so myself.

40,000 Rand comes out to about $5,250 USD or about $1,050.00 a Hipo. Truly a bargain in the offering.

Usually i would do some online searching to see what is involved for air travel and transportation costs. i have not done this, i you would please indicate how a hunter would reach camp. road or private flight?

The way i read This is a exclusive HIPO hunt ONLY...in a Park in Zambia.

A hunter will receive his choice of the 5 HIPO's he culls for 1 Skull and tusks --- and will not be able to receive any part of the hide.

Am i missing something?

Renier, appreciate you getting some more details in this new thread.

Is Lal Visser the PH in Zambia? Is he licensed or is their another PH from Zambia directing the hunt?

Thanks
