has anyone here hunted africa ?

I have a hankering for a trip to Africa but with the Aussie dollar being worth less than the US dollar we get less for our money.
I'd like to take a Cape buff and some plains game.
The rest of the big 5 are losing their habitats faster rather than slower and the big cats cop a hiding from the natives so I have no interest in knocking them over.
Anything at that end of foodchain is knife edge material under the current political and social instability in Africa.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising those who would like to take the big 5 or hunt cats, that's just my view.
But my new Ruger No1 in 450/400 NE 3" deserves a trip to Africa as does my T3 9.3x62.
If I came home with a kudu, springbok, blesbok, sable and a Cape buffalo I'd be a happy boy.
Mind you I just was invited to go on a cull hunt in the Northern Territory - basically take as many water buff, wild donkeys, dingos & other ferals as you can over a 5 day period.
The last group of hunters, around 10 guys, took 88 buff in the 5 days they were there 32, dingoes and over 100 other game.
But including airfare that is about AUD$3700.
Everything costs money!
