I would like to here from people that have done both which is more exciting I would love to do either but rhino sounds cooler other than the price tag. I would most likely only be able to do one or the other so any imput would be appreciated.

Amon to me it's an absolute no brainier, Ellephant walks away with the better experience by 20 country miles...

I have extensively hunted both and to be honest Rhino does not come close...

My very best always.
 
I would agree with Jaco.... Elephant is probably one of the most exciting and intimidating safaris one can go on! I can guarantee you will never forget an elephant safari done the right way in your life!

Best regards,

Jacques
 
Ain't that the truth buddy! ;)
 
Amon,
I've done both and I'm certain you would find hunting elephant to be far and away the better experience. To this day elephant remains a true and wild hunting experience where all you will likely find today is driving or walking about to locate a pre-measured and farmed raised rhino in a fenced enclosure.
 
Amon I'm in the same boat as you and could never do both. Have chosen to do the elephant!
 
I think I am going to go with the elephant as I didn't know you couldn't hunt wild rhino but I may eventually wined up darting one if I get the itch to bad and I am but still a young man with more dreams than funds lol.

cant say it any better than that
 
Amon if you want to dart one I can help you sir. It is not as expensive as you think and what a great hunt! The area I have for rhino we have a slection of about 60 bulls ranging from 16" up to 29".

A few members on AH has been with me and I will say though, the dart is more fun than shooting a rhino. Have to get much closer than with a rifle and when you are in between 6 to 10 rhino bulls with only a dart gun it does get exciting!

There are a few wild Rhino hunts but they are few and far between.

Have fun on your dream Elephant hunt.
 
And I wanted to add that it is called a Vita Dart that we offer. If I can provide more information please feel free to e-mail me at any time.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
