There is game that will soon be impossible to import or hunt, so I'd put them on the top of the list.

All Cats - Lion is now prohibitively expense. The total bill for taking a free range lion in Tanzania will be $75k or more. Leopard is still doable and highly recommended.

Elephant - Zim can still make it happen, but you might as well make the safari for lion include your elephant and leopard. That will be $100k, but its done. Piecemeal, it will cost you double.

Lord Derby Eland and Bongo - Cameroon and CAR. Hunters are still going there without incident BUT between Boko Harem and CAR political situation, I wonder how.

I'd go to Tanzania on any safari you can afford just to see the land and experience it. It gets more ridiculously expensive every season, but it is #1 and the land that I picture when someone mentions safari.

There, you go, I have just spent at least $150k of your after tax money. I guarantee that if you could ever do it, you'd see it as an investment that will enrich your life to the end.
