Looking at some realistic numbers. It’ll be a ways down the road but I would really like to take my wife to Africa. It would strictly be an archery hunt, two people probably 7-10 days with 5-7 animals. Not looking at anything extravagant but just the normal plains game. Just need a close rough estimate for entire trip from round trip plane tickets to tips to shipping animals back. Like I said this will be 5 or so years down the road but I’d like to know what to expect so I can start saving now

you should be able to find a package or a couple's first time safari that includes 4 or 5 animals for less than you would think. Airfare would be like Cajun stated above. I would recommend sending Limcroma an email. They are very good about putting together reasonable packages for first timers. They did that for me back in 2013. Been twice since and going back July of 2019. Can't hurt to get a quote. I first started communicating with them in 2009 and finally made it over in 2013. It can be a long process and they understand that but they can give you a really good idea on the cost and put something together that may get you over there a year early.

Another thing, I've always flown direct from Atlanta to Jo'burg. Of course I did have to go from Dallas to ATL, but the fewer stops and plane changes you have the less chance to lose something.Last edited by rladner; 05-16-2018, 02:41 PM.

I can't speak on other outfitters because I've never experienced them, but Limcroma has a sister company (called Trophy Pro) and they take care of your trophies all the way to shipment. I've never had any issues with them. Always communicate well and are professional. Clearing them on the US side depends on where you live and who does your taxi work. You can also do it yourself if you are motivated. I am not
