Good luck, you're going to have the trip of a lifetime. However, take some extra cash, unless you're very disciplined you may exceed your goal of four critters. I had planned on four animals as well ....... somehow there were 9 at the taxidermist's when it was over.
I will be disciplined as I am already running short on mount space before this trip.

That being said I was very disciplined but I wish I had shot a warthog.

Looking forward to your story upon return!

I fear South Africa may be going the way of Zimbabwe politically.  Get your hunts in while you can!

I just returned last night and the trip far exceeded all our expectations.  I will write more about trip a little later.
