Review the hunting tours on offer. Many travel agents and tour operators offer hunting tours to Africa. Contact them for more information.
Set your budget. The price of the tour largely depends on how many days you will hunt. For example, a five-day tour in the Limpopo province of South Africa will cost you about $3,550 per person, while the same tour for nine days costs $10,650 (as of 2011).
Purchase safari clothes and equipment. The best clothes is of green olive color, as it will allow you to better hide in the African grass and bushes. Also, ensure you have a pair of good boots and a hat. Bug spray and sun lotion may also be of some help on your tour. In addition, purchase a health insurance policy to cover you during your trip (in case your current health insurance doesn't).You probably won't have to worry about bringing your rifle with you to Africa as the tour operators typically supply their clients with rifles and cartridges.
Determine a list of animals you are allowed to hunt. Some African animals are on the verge of extinction and so you obviously cannot kill those (although you can still shoot them with a camera). The animals that you can hunt may include a baboon, black-backed backal, Cape buffalo, crocodile, African elephant, giraffe, Lichtenstein hartebeest, hippopotamus, spotted hyena, impala, kudu, lion, ostrich, roan antelope, Burchell's zebra and Hartmann's zebra. Ask the professional hunter who will accompany you at all times which animals you can and cannot hunt.
Make photos with your trophies. Be advised that you may not be able to take some of the trophies home due to government regulations of your home country as well as the country in which the hunting takes place. Consult your guides as to what trophies you can and cannot take out of a certain country.
