Haverluk,
read this and if you need more info let me know.
My story is almost like yours.
I was at a backyard BBQ, the host was putting together a trip to South Africa (RSA) for a Plain's Game hunt..at that time the plan was 2 years ahead so all 6 guys could save money and get ready.,,,,,short story, when the 2 years ended, 5 had bailed out, I was on my own. So I went ahead, flew to Joburg changed planes and flew to Port Liz, hunted for a week with a great outfit. Their package deal was 5 animals for $4000....this included room and meals and drinks (Sundowners)...I would love to do it again.
They are Mayogi Safaris in the Eastern cape, checkout their website.
Anyway,,,that is my suggestion.
