It's not just the ever increasing costs. It's also the ever changing, some for the better, some for the worst, conditions there.

On the plus side - the general improvements to roads and technology services like cell phone and WIFI access. On the negative side - general reduction/loss of habitat due in most part to population growth and the Chinese "invasion". Sad to say, a lot of blacks thought the "colonists" were the root of all their problems, they haven't seen anything yet the Chinese are setting them up for.

You CAN do a pretty good 7-10 plains game hunt for the same or sometimes less than the cost of some of the crazy prices being asked at some locations for guided whitetail or mule deer hunts. You can have a really good PG hunt for the cost of a guided elk hunt. You can have an exceptional PG hunt for the cost of a guided moose hunt. You can even do PG and a buffalo for the cost of a guided grizz hunt.

If anyone reads most of my posts, they'll see one recurring comment I repeat. If you've ever thought or dreamed of an African safari, go NOW or at least as soon as you can.
