Does it really cost that much to go on an African Safari?

 

Ever wondered how much an  African Hunting Safari costs? The answer I have put up for you today might astonish you.

Hunting in Africa is one of the most adventurous expeditions in the world for hunters. This opinion has been supported by a Daniel when he said,“You can’t go anywhere and see the number of animals that are in Africa.”

This opinion is true. Africa is such an awesome place to go for a holiday hunting package. They’re currently more hunt-worthy animals in Africa than in any other continent.

According to 2009 estimates, approximately 18,500 trophy hunters visit Africa every year to kill approximately 105,000 animals. Of this astounding figure —nearly 15,000 of these hunters—are from the U.S.

This figure shows how big trophy hunting for animals in Africa is at the moment.

As sometimes called,–Trophy hunting is defined as the killing of wild animals for their body parts, i.e. their head and hides, predominately for display and not primarily for food or substance.

For better understanding, trophies include – but are aren’t limited to parts like elephants ivory tusks, deer antlers or rhino horns. This can extend to the whole of the animals’ head which can be easily be mounted on walls or the whole of the animals’ body which can be worked on by a taxidermist and made to pose and look alive.

These are basically the cost of going on an African Safari Hunt. Before I list them, you need to understand that the price for going on a safari hunt varies based on the animals you want to hunt. A 10 Days Hunt for an Antelope can’t be the same in cost when compared with a 10 Days Hunt for a Cheetah.

Hope you get the point?
