Africa is fantastic in every way. As there gun laws get more restrictive, more and more bow hunting only places are opening up. All the hunting is under high fence but most of the places are giant and it doesn't really take away from the hunt. I went with Dries Visser this time and was very pleased with his whole operation. He is a long time supporter of the LSBA which played heavily in my decision to go with him.The LSBA now has 4 sponsor members that are from Africa. I'm sure any of them would show you a great hunt.
As far as the costs go it really depends on what you want to spend. I kind of lost my mind and spent a lot but it can be done fairly cheaply.
You can look on the lsba site and find several hunts that will fit any price range.
Just to have some thing to work with I will use the numbers from our most resent sponsor.
Plane Ticket $2000.00 round trip non stop
Cost of hunt $1000.00 ( they are priced at $2000.00 but I heard they will be cut in half for LSBA members) This includes your daily fees, meals, guide ect and your choice of one trophy animal. This can be a Kudu, Gemsbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Bushbuck or Zebra.
you are going to want to shoot more than that, so lets add
Impala, Blesbuck, warthog and Steen buck for an addition cost of $1150.00
If you figure 10% for tips that would be another $250.00
It cost around $1000.00 to get your trophies back to the states
Total cost of around $3400.00 for a week in Africa with 5 animals.
Most of the hunting is done from ground blinds with a few tree stands used as well.
Most of the shots will be close, 15 to 20 yards.
If you have any more questions or If I can help in any way, Please feel free to call me at 903-576-1951
