I wouldn't bid on an auction hunt. There are just too many storys of hidden costs, cancelled meetings and changes to itinerary, PH and location of the hunt.

These hunts are to get people interested and invariable start to 'add up' with offers of extras.

Make sure you know exactly what you are buying and what is included and what is not included.

That hunt includes Nyala which do not do well in the Limpopo valley (often being too cold) and are certainly not indigenous to the Kalahari. Invariable they are introduced.

I'm a sceptic, but you will probably find yourself with a trainee PH hunting a small fenced ranch and shooting an old lioness that once breed catch and release MGM males for well heeled 'hunters', with the chance to upgrade of course, at extra cost.

All this may not worry you if you can stick to budget, in which case go for it. We all started somewhere.
