Was reading your other thread about finances. Don’t know what your long term plans for hunting in Africa are, but just thought I’d mention something that’s become a part of my hunting/financial plan.
I want to hunt Africa as often as I can. I plan a trip regardless of cost and start saving the money for that trip. Then I look for deals. If I can get a deal for enough saving over original planned trip, take it, and invest saved money. If I can do a trip for half of original plan and make the 8% you mentioned on the other thread, I’ll have my original savings back in 9-10 years. You get a trip now and a trip down the road for the same money.
For example, last year I got a deal with game4africa for half of what John x would have cost. Took it, and invested saved money to pay for that more expensive trip down the road. Prices may go up and may not get 8%, but could possibly get 2 trips for the price of 1.
