Not in the price
Flights, taxidermy, shipping, extra animals, rifle hire, permits for special animals, extra excursions, the shuttle to Durban or Richards Bay airport if your trip ends at the coast, and tips, which go through us so that all the staff share them fairly. Paying by card, Zelle, check or into a US bank account adds 3.5%. Paying into our South African account adds nothing.
Hunting from the list or in a package
Hunting from the list, you pay only for the animals you take. In a hunting package, the animals are paid for even if you do not take them, and you cannot swap one animal for another inside a package.
Wounded animals
An animal shot, wounded and lost counts as taken, and its full trophy fee is due. Your professional hunter's decision on this is final. We make every reasonable effort to recover a wounded animal.
Permit animals
Animals marked with a permit need one in advance, and permits are first come, first served until the year's quota is reached. A spotted hyena permit is US$500. A buffalo needs 25% of the trophy fee up front. Nile crocodile is US$500 plus 25% of the fee. Primates are US$25.
Changing your mind
Dates can move once, in writing, at least 8 months out. Inside 8 months the full amount stays payable unless we accept your reason, so we strongly advise trip insurance. If you drop a permit animal you booked, tell us at least 3 months before you arrive, or 50% of its fee stays due.
