I've only made one trip to Africa and was able to bring home kudu, impala, bushbuck, and an aardvark.  But I really want a Zebra . . .so I guess we start saving our nickles.  LOL

Greg, you will love Chattaronga and the folks who run it.  This was my first trip to Africa so I have no other hunting operations against which to measure or compare.  However, like I said, we did stay in three different 4 or 5-star photo safari camps before this one during our trip and Chattaronga compares very favorably with them.

John,

Africa should be on everyones bucket list.  Not just the hunting of different animals but the experience of the continent.  You will never forget the trip and always want too go back.

Yeah, I guess I could get by in those digs, really was hoping not to have to rough it so much though.

You nailed it Burnsie.  It was rough.  One morning there were only three different kinds of cookies/biscuits.  Once we ran out of coffee in the blind on our morning sit.  In fact one of the days I had to go almost THREE HOURS without eating!  Despite the privation and hardship we managed to pull through.
