Perhaps this is a strange question but what day of the week did you start your hunt? Is there a standard or regular day that a 7-day hunt begins?

For example, when we rent a house at the beach, the week normally starts on Saturday afternoon and checkout is the following Saturday morning.

I won an auction for a hunt in Limpopo and I'd like to take it in the last week of August. I'm trying to figure out my schedule for what day I need to leave the US in order to be there for the 7-day hunt.
 
Talk to the outfitter, it is quite likely that they'll start on any day that you want.

Be aware that most 7 day hunts are actually just 5 day ones. Your arrival and departure days are considered part of the hunt.
 
Of my six trips over, all of them have started on Tuesdays to Fridays. Departing USA on Mondays thru Wednesday. Same in return as plane tickets always seem to be cheaper than flying weekends.
But also depends on outfitters available dates.
I book for full 10, 14 or 21 day trips. Plus arrival and depart days. My preferred outfitter does not charge for arrival or departure days. Only actual hunting days.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
