Thanks to all. I'm taking notes.

Griz...I was thinking the exact same thing as for Texas and it is why I have posted now. I could field test some gear and was thinking of a Cabelas online purchase for some safari styled shirts and pants/shorts.

Jorge...thanks man. As of now, I'm thinking of April as it is the month of Karen's birthday and she told me she'd love to go. I have some plains game on tap, of course, but a leopard has been a dream of mine for years. If I can't go the leopard route, I'm seriously considering a buff. A dear friend of mine has hunted the following linked place 3 times now and has worked some very nice deals for me with the outfitter should I choose his operation for my hunt. If you have a moment from your hectic schedule, have a look and please offer me any advice or tips you might have for me.

Again, thanks to all for taking the time to educate me.
