Sir,
I have sent you a Personal mail. We offer hunts in South Africa, and can assist you in Namibia as well.

Take Care,

I did the Plains Game Safari first thing......

I wanted to hunt Buffalo all my life and did the plainsgame thing first.......big mistake ( for me anyway). I really wish it had been Buff first with incidental plainsgame rather than an 8 day 8 animal plainsgame hunt. It was fun but it's not really what hunting Africa is about for me. Africa is about hunting, not a shopping list. While hunting Buff, you get a chance at a great Kudu, you take it. While tracking Buff you find a really good Water buck, bam! Can you maybe tell Ilike hunting Buffalo......... I will have a hard time ever making that nasty flight without Buffalo on the list at least.

Like a lot of people have said...you will be back and that is a fact, when the African bug bites..it bites hard. I would go with the PG hunt, and it won't be long before you back for a buff..

If you go to a big game area (for buff - assuming you do not intend to shoot him behind a fence) and hunt incidental plains game, then you will be looking at a fairly expensive first venture to Africa and relatively few opportunities at plains game. I certainly wouldn't recomend one of the short (and somewhat cheaper) buff only trips unless buffalo is the reason you are going to Africa. I did low fence to Namibia with my son in 08 and have just completed my fifth trip (now including a couple of buff and a leopard). For me, starting with that affordable PG hunt, where we really had to hunt, was the smartest move I could have made.
