What Do YOU Need To Know About African Hunting Safaris?

African big game hunting has existed since the mid 19th century when a few intrepid adventurers hunted for meat and trophies by themselves and for themselves.

It wasn't until the turn of the 20th century that equally intrepid hunters started to hire 'professional' hunters to accompany them on their African hunting safaris. East Africa was the place to hunt and large safari companies sprang up to outfit these long hunting safaris and manage their stables of famous Professional 'White' Hunters.

Today, African hunting trips with a Professional Hunter are the norm and are even more popular than ever, even if on a somewhat smaller scale. Now big game hunting battles against general public disapproval, unscrupulous operators and red tape which can make arranging an African hunt a major and complex mission - finding a hunt suitable for you, trying not to get ripped off, getting the paperwork right - the list goes on....
