First time advice please

Africa has a lot diverse game and country. Try to figure out what kind of animals and terrian you want to hunt in on your first trip.

First trip, they say you get hooked.
I have some reasonable quotes on cull hunts and , return flight s itinerary from my home town. A little more than anticipated but there is travel insurance included. If i can get the stars to align i might be locking something in next week.
Im keeping it simple, no rifles this time just what i need.
By chance i bumped into a South African fella at the gunshop today.
He gave me a fair rundown on what to expect and condensed, reiterated or confirmed if you like the same advice im hearing here.
I think its gonna happen.

So happy for you, CBH.

I encourage you to travel light so you have a great trip. Really want to mitigate risk? Bring one carry on, no restricted items that must go into the belly of the plane, have a great time. You only need 1 set of clothes on you, 2 spares in your pack.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
