This is open to anybody, whether they've hunted in Africa or not. Just tell me the top three animals you prefer to hunt, or would prefer to hunt, REALISTICALLY. I mean, sure, many of us would like to hunt lion, but these days the price of a real, wild, BIG lion is at least $50,000. If you have that kind of money to spend, go ahead and list it, but if not keep it real. Even a sable these days is getting close to $10,000, everything considered.

buffalo
leopard

That's on the list for next time...if there a next time, given the state of affairs over there. jorge

Kudu, waterbuck, buffalo. Maybe you could swap the first two--but, I am prejudiced toward Tragelephines.

my list for next time would be the same as Jorge's.
kudu would be number 3, but I've got one already

My must-have top three for my first trip were: Kudu Impala Cape Buffalo When I go back, my top three will be: Nyala Waterbuck Roan Antelope And I will go back...  (If I lived there and were biltong hunting, I could be happy spending my days chasing impala  .) DN

I love hunting Kudu, Bushbuck, as well as BIG Warthog and Impala. Next year I'll fulfill a dream by hunting Cape Buffalo - successful or not, this will be my only hunt for one. In a couple of years, when I retire, I'd like to hunt Leopard.
May the best days of your past be the worst days of your future.

Warthogs are definitely the most fun.
Eland stalking is way up there too.
I've hunted others, but those two were a cut above the others.

I agree. Bongo are the most beautiful thing you could imagine with greater kudu right up there. The only thing about bongo is you have to hunt in the bugs, creepy-crawly things, and the jungle. No thanks.
