For my first African safari umpteen years ago, took about a year to prepare. Lots of rifle and load testing. Lots of field shooting. Lots of reading.
Second trip took more prep than the first one since a double rifle was added.
Third trip took even more since two novice friends were going.
Fourth trip took even more since two of my children were going.
Now days...
Email the PH's wife, check available dates, check airline, book, and go.
Remember to tell your wife that you will be gone for a few days, but she might not notice.
