7 Day South African Hunting Safari for Two Hunters With NB Safaris

[get015]

If you want to shoot one that is 58"+, the outfitter might buy a half tame one at an auction before your hunt and make a mock stalk for you to shoot it, and if he does, he will for sure not lose money on it.

If those trophy prices will be the norm in South Africa in a not so distant future Jaco, then the numbers of hunters coming to South Africa will drop by a lot.
And there will for sure not be many that will shoot Kudus.
If you are right, I better save up quick for my last hunting trip to South Africa before it happens.

Boys, I'm not saying he's cheap but look around there are more expensive outfits out there.
Honestly what do we expect, of price lists attached to the donation game?
We devaluate our basic product to get a market share and then inflate a pricelist to cut a loss (rotten, rotten system)

On pricing, in 2001 I had a 1x1 daily rate (brochure daily rate) of $350 per day and 2x1 of $300, now I'm at $485 and $385 and yet I am considered higher spectrum on daily rates in Limpopo which is RIDICOULAS if you ask me as I know how much our operating cost have increased over the last 15 years.......... (An increase of $8.33 a year over 15 seasons on a 1x1 rate wow!)
I have done the break downs here before so I'm sure you know there's not much money to be made once bills are paid.

Fact is hunters will always come no matter what the price.....Cost (running cost) will dictate the market price, as there is no other way to look at it, hunters simply can't.
If I had my clients dictate my pricing is be out of business.
Many might say competition dictates price..... That all depends on who you decide to compete with.

All outfitting companies even NB safaris as above are lined up in pricing with other outfitters, they have leveled themselves with.

Hunting like all luxuries in life gets more expensive everything does, as humans we adapt, line ourselves up with our appropriate outfit and let it fly...

I remember hearing that $25k is redicoulas for a leopard safari and we will sit with leopard if the ever go to that price bracket,
In those day I had my cats on the market for $12k now they're $24 - $28k and others I've seen $35k
I started having kudu on a pricelist for $650 now they're $3k.
It all changes and we adapt.
My best always
