Given the relative ease of the hunts, buff and sable are high on the list, will book some years out and book the physically tougher stuff like Dahl and goat first. Tough to beat a BC hunt IMO.... Ed I watched a Goat hunt from BC on TV this weekend and it looked incredibly difficult. I think it would be a great hunt/adventure but for me a hunt that tough is only a distant memory. I hope you make it happen. Bev

#1 thru 5 will cost you another 30 grand. I don't know about Red lechwe......
Too bad...they were fractions of this 15 years ago...

Yea I'm slowly coming to realize that I may never make it over there. I've taken a Gemsbok, several Oryx,a blackbuck and many Axis back home in Texas but I'm really wanting to try Africa. I'm thinking for me that it's likely that ship has sailed!

Kudu, gemsbok, impala,springbok,eland ( either Cape or Livingstones) and a host of other critters are still widely available at good prices through Namibia ( my first choice) or RSA.....
A good package can be put together for 10K...plus travel and shipping of trophies.

Poobah, I hate to bring this up............but you were charged with executing a non stop flight from US to Windhoek. How's that coming along?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Nothing yet. All my efforts have been to no avail, despite the booming popularity of Namibia as a Safari destination.
I truly don't get it...at least a couple flights per week during the busy season would fill up....
And I'd be on one of them!

No doubt. Keep the pressure on if you don't mind.

Wasn't sure I'd make it back but finally decided on a Zim safari next month. The list is not too long
Nyala
Bushbuck
Zebra
Impala - if we spot a good one
At least one warthog
Undecided on a giraffe
Fascinated by those spiral horns
