Hello all. Something tells me I'm in the right place. I was told to come to this site to get advice about my upcoming trip to South Africa. My name is Jody, and I'm about to take a trip to Nitro safari in SA. This will be my first trip to Africa and I'll admit I have no idea what I signed up for. I'm a little nervous about traveling there by myself. No one else was able to make it and I've decided if I wait for others I may never make it there. I have plenty of questions that I would like to ask the- been there done that- crowd.
I will be.bowhunting out of Kimberley this July. My wish list consists of a kudu, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, Impala blesbok and springbok. When I'm not hunting I hope to be photographing as much as possible.
Should I trust what they are telling me about not needing any shots?
Anything to watch out for in jo-burgh or Kimberly airport?
I've been able to get a lot of answers from the outfitter and booking agent. The one thing that I'm getting nowhere with is importation brokers as far as an estimate cost. I was hoping one of you might be able to give me some Input. As I said I'm planning on shipping six hides and horns back to Pittsburgh. I have the prices for the dip and pack, but have not been able to get an idea of what it will cost from there??? Shipping and brokerage fees.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
My apologies for the long post. As you can imagine I'm getting a little amped up for this trip. This will be as far from my Pennsylvania deer woods as I've ever been.
