I have put the spreadsheet to all the Northern Tanzania outfitters at DSC. The low is 60k the high is 90k for the animals I want.

And by the way, all the outfitters said a Buffalo in the North is very difficult, unless you hunt the rainy season, otherwise they suggest an area change, of course that increases the cost.

would to see what you discovered in your search. please pm me. greatly appreciated
 
Apart from the romance and the nostalgia, is a $36000 buffalo hunt three times as good as a $12000 one? Or twice as good as an $18K hunt? Even so, the main reason to do a hunt is simply that you want to........I fully understand that....hoping you find exactly what you're after @Rare Breed ...................FWB
 
Thanks so very much!!! You are spot on…my research has produced about 2.5 times the cost for the experience plus don’t forget the added luxury items of Tsete Flies. I completely understand the extra cost given the costs the outfitters have to pay, forget making a profit. To your point I will be back with one if my very favorite @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS in 2026 versus Tanzania or Zambia for my fourth buff.
 
@Rare Breed I think your research is fantastic and all forms part of the hunt.

However, geography does not determine the success of a hunt. You might book an expensive hunt in the "right" area but end up having a disappointing hunt. Alternatively, you could experience an amazing hunt elsewhere.

What I am alluding to is that a successful safari is a complex cake to bake, and it requires many ingredients, expertly put together, so that it tastes as great as it looks.

Good luck with your search and your research. My advice is, if your expectations are met, you have a good hunt. If they are exceeded, you will have a memorable and amazing experience.

Good morning. I'll take all of them actually. Whats the next step? Thanks, Derek
Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?
