Quick Answer
Women can find suitable African safari hunting outfits with companies like PHASA-approved outfitters, African Wings Safaris, and Kwalu Safaris, which cater to female hunters and offer tailored experiences.
Choosing a Reputable Outfitter
When selecting an African safari hunting outfit for women, consider companies with experienced guides, a proven track record, and a strong focus on customer service. Look for outfitters that cater specifically to female hunters and offer tailored experiences. For example, African Wings Safaris offers female-only hunting parties, while Kwalu Safaris provides customized itineraries to suit female hunters’ needs.
Daily Rates and Trophy Fees
Daily rates for African safari hunting outfits can vary greatly, ranging from $500 to $2,000 per day, depending on the outfitter, location, and type of game. Trophy fees, which cover the cost of harvesting a specific species, can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the species and outfitter. For example, a female hunter booking with African Wings Safaris might pay a daily rate of $1,500 and a trophy fee of $10,000 for a giraffe.
Planning and Logistics
When planning an African safari hunt, female hunters should expect to book 12-18 months in advance to secure a spot with a reputable outfitter. Daily rates and trophy fees should be negotiated as part of the booking process, and travel logistics, including flights and accommodations, should be arranged through the outfitter or a recommended travel agent. A good outfitter will also provide guidance on necessary vaccinations, medications, and gear.
