    Free Flights to Africa

    I keep accumulating miles and the price of tickets in miles keeps going up. I am not brand loyal though so I fly whatever makes sense, not the airline I prefer.

    Africa prices?

    Your inflation calculator is not set correctly. You have to take out the govt bullshit. If you look around almost everything is at least 50% from 2014, and many things are 100%. Govt uses electronics to bring down the formula. I buy a lot more milk and eggs than I do new televisions. Ymmv

    Laymen: what have they asked you?

    I find the #1 assumption is that if you go, its the classical full bag safari. When I explain, no, that is no longer the norm, and 7-10 days, buff, or PG hunts are similar in price to elk hunts, I get lots of looks of disbelief. Never has sex even been mentioned.

Several people who have been there complained or as denvir tire did just commented on their experience, and multiple people dismiss their complaints and comments, or say, "well I had a great time so...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris

    The most interesting thing in this whole thread is the defense. We don't doubt some hunters at Kuche had an amazing experience. But you keep shit talking the other hunters who did not have the same experience. Very telling. I have not hunted with Kuche, but I know a group of 3 who did, and...
