Africa Isn't as Expensive as You Think: The Real Cost of a Safari

"Someday, when I can afford it." That's what a lot of hunters tell themselves about Africa — and most of them are wrong about the numbers.In this episode, Travis Wier tackles the single biggest myth in the hunting world: that an African safari is a rich man's game. He breaks down what a plains-game hunt actually costs — day rates, trophy fees, and the à-la-carte pricing that lets you build a hunt around your budget instead of the other way around. Spoiler: a week in Africa on multiple animals often lands in the same range as a guided elk hunt, a fancy family vacation, or that boat you've been eyeing. It's not about being rich. It's about knowing how the pricing really works.If you've been parking Africa on the "someday" shelf because you assumed the price tag, this episode might move it a lot closer than you thought.In this episode:
