Well, the wife has essentially laid down the law. She wants me to stop talking about Africa and go!
I really want to take a Buffalo and that, I think is my priority. There are of course certain plains game I'm interested in as well. The usual suspects, Kudu, Impala, Zebra....
I don't really know where to begin. First things first, I know I need to renew my passport and will get after that as soon as I can. In researching areas, Zimbabwe seems to address true free range buffalo hunting at a reasonable cost (seems like the buff hunts in RSA are game ranches, I could be wrong) Or should I take a plains game safari? Cost is a factor though I haven't determined my top end yet. Can't see spending more then 15K-ish. I am completely open to suggestions.
Is it in my best interest to go through an outfitter/fixer to organize flights, weapons paperwork, general booking etc.? If so, who?
I know there is lots of experience on this forum.
Lay it on me.
