    I'm about 1.3k in between the auction and a deposit.

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Oh, I'll clarify, not unmotivated by going to Africa, that won't go away, more whether if this hunt is the way I want to approach it or if I'd rather go on something that meets what I'd hope for.

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Haven't booked flights yet - so definitely a little less than enthused. Wife was planning to come with me and maybe hunt one or two of the smaller antelope and do a game drive, but part of me feels worried about surprise charges. Yeah, a five day I'm aware of with good personal recommendations...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Update on this is appears they are sticking to their guns on the pricing. As such, I'm probably going to give the Kudu a miss unless it changes on the ground or a nice one presents itself, as its gone up further even for the smaller class and I'd struggle to justify that - its the level that I'd...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Totally agree - though I'll draw the line on species that are Limpopo representative. I'm also not all about size. Waterbuck is funnily enough something on the opportunity it presents itself list (as it is endemic), but wasn't something I'd put in my top few. Part of the reasoning behind my...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Appreciate everyone's perspectives and advice. My parents recent went on a non-hunting safari to Kruger region, and definitely planning on a game drive or similar for a first trip as part of the overall experience as that is something my wife is also pretty keen on. I'll be talking to the...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Starting to feel the concern/buyers remorse quite heavily. I guess I will say, I am willing to walk away from it if I'm getting screwed over, or just run at a minimum for it. Its not a significant outlay compared to the overall amount I'd spend for what I'd want to hunt (and maybe as much as it...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    I did think that was a little odd - the only 'northern kudu' I've heard of is the lesser, and you certainly don't see those down in this area. I'd assume its just the Southern Greater given the photos I've seen. I also did wonder a little about the prices of additions doing that (it doesn't...

    First Timer What to Hunt Limpopo

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I've long been interested in going to Africa for a safari but a number of things got in my way and I'm finally in the position to do so. Growing up as a kid I was always enamored by the stories from Africa, Wilbur Smith in the fiction route, but also African...
