Hello, first time post. I live in the US, have never been to Africa. It has been an ambition/dream to hunt there for many years. I am considering my first African hunting trip in 2022 or 2023. I have read before that since so many flights from the US arrive in South Africa, that it makes sense to tag on a trip in that country on your way to somewhere else.
I have done a lot of research on species/areas. I am really trying to focus on areas that produce the best quality trophies in a species and also provide an enjoyable geographical area. I am not necessarily opposed to fenced hunts as long as the area is large enough to allow fair chase, but I have no desire to drive out in someone’s pasture and shoot something.
Anyway, this is getting long winded. How would it work to book a Namibia hunt, target species common eland, kudu, gemsbok, springbok, black-faced impala, black & blue wildebeest; and then tag on (before or after) a Natal/Zululand hunt for Nyla, waterbuck, southern impala.
Maybe I’m shooting for too much in Namibia (desert vs savanna/scrub)? Or maybe I’m not picking best area for some species?
