Since our recent episodes about safari and Africa we had a lot of inquiries about booking, travel logistics, and just some general guidelines about do's and don'ts for international hunts. Look, I get it. If you haven't done it, it can seem intimidating but with the right preparation it is very doable.  I hope you find this helpful and if any of you have more questions or think I didn't cover something, reach out   email us: [email protected]
