Game Hunting Safaris

Game Hunting Safaris operates as a broker connecting hunters with outfitters across Africa's premier hunting destinations. Based in New York, they curate and list African hunting expeditions—handling everything from initial hunt selection through booking and logistics.

The platform features 388+ active hunts across 12 African countries:

Big 5 hunts target elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and cape buffalo—the continent's most iconic species. Prices range from $24,350 for 10-day combined trophy hunts to $67,940 for 15-day mountain nyala expeditions in Ethiopia.

Dangerous Game hunts add crocodile and hippopotamus to the mix. These demand the highest preparation level. A 14-day leopard and elephant hunt in Zimbabwe runs $45,850; an 8-day hippo and nile crocodile expedition in Zimbabwe costs $22,830–$24,830.

Plains Game hunts focus on species like kudu, impala, springbok, wildebeest, and blesbok. These typically range $3,195–$11,225 for 5–7 days. A 5-day impala slam in South Africa costs $9,450; a springbok grand slam in Eastern Cape costs $6,800 for 7 days.

Specialty hunts include giant crocodile on Lake Cahora Bassa ($12,400 for 6 days), giraffe, warthog, and bushbuck targeting. A 21-day Tanzania expedition in Liparamba runs $120,000.

The process follows three steps:

1. Browse hunts across destinations, species, and difficulty levels (Easy, Moderate, Difficult) 2. Request quotes for preferred dates—the platform checks real-time availability with outfitters 3. Secure booking with an initial deposit once availability confirmed

Expeditions range from 4-5 day "Easy" hippo hunts in Namibia ($6,750) to 21-day "Difficult" safaris combining multiple dangerous game species ($120,000). Most run 7–14 days.
