That price would be a bare minimum. If you want to get any of your trophies back to the states it will cost considerably more. I was in Africa in Nov. 2023. On a 7-day hunt. I shot 1 cape buffalo, 2 gemsbok, 1 kudu and a sable. I chose to do only Euro Mounts. The prep for the shipping, the export paperwork and shipper, the importer paperwork, for the shipping on a flight, the airline fees for storage if the importer cannot pick them up for immediately from the airline, arranging for customs inspection, the USDA inspection etc. Then the shipping to my location. That was a total of $4000. You can add in what it would cost to get your trophies mounted however you wanted. Don't get me wrong. I had a great time in Africa, and it was a trip of a lifetime. But be prepared for the extra cost to bring your trophies home.

Having hunted S. Africa twice, I believe you should breakdown the total cost in three parts. First part is the flight, lodging, animals, and tips. Second part, the cost for any level of hide and skull prep and the cost to dip, pack and ship your animals.The third part is paying to receive your animals and any additional taxidermy you want done in the US. If I plan on spending $6 K for the hunt, all in I know it might cost me $15K to have some animals mounted. Those are generic numbers, my point is planning on spending close to 3x the cost of your hunt when it's all done and on your wall.

i appreciate someone finally being honest enough to discuss pricing - most never do this - and it can become extrmely expensive - and i have been to africa to hunt 3 times

Ik when we went for a few of the big 5 each ticket was over 15 a piece and this was years ago so this is really affordable. I’d definitely be down for a trip like yhis

Thank you for going in depth, this is a question i have always wanted answered!

You help me get through life man thanks for sharing and being so genuine if you ever want to catch big lake sturgeon in Minnesota lmk

That’s is MUCH cheaper than I was expecting! I was expecting well over $10K!

Less expensive than an outfitted big horn sheep hunt in Wyoming.

Very informative video thanks Mike

Can you explain the cost breakdown for shipping your mounted animals to the us? Full cost from taxidermy to shipping if you could?

thank you so much for sharing! definitely going to make this happen in the next few years. I've learned a lot from your channel, would love to go on a hunt with you and experience that! I shoot a Bowtech SS34

Would love to understand the Airline Baggage process/price, shipping/bringing mounts back process/price, and how much you tip etc..?

Namibia is high on my bucketlist for sure, i thought it was much more expensive. 😮

It depends on where you go too. If your going to South Africa,Namibia or Zimbabwe the price is going to be cheaper. But if you go to central,east and west Africa the price is going to jump especially in Tanzania and Ethiopia from what I’ve researched….and then there’s Zambia and Mozambique which are pretty expensive but not bank breaking

On my bucket list for sure.

Absolutely interested and would love to be able to hunt with Mullet Man!

Happy Father's Day and God bless.

Happy father's days to you guys 👍👍

I’ve always wanted to hunt in Africa and has been top of my bucket list. Back in 2020 I was able to save up enough to take me and my dad to hunt in Africa (I was 16 at the time) but sadly it all got shut down with COVID. But seeing you breakdown everything it is very doable and hopefully one day I can get everything together and be able to go. Also mullet man is it possible if you can do another lodge tour and go full in depth with most of the mounts? It might be a bit repetitive as you already did one and that’s okay if it’s a no but will be amazing! Keep up the amazing work with the great content.

Could you describe the firearm process? Suggested caliber or do they provide the firearm and ammo? Like many in the comments a breakdown of the taxidermy and shipping costs would be awesome to know. Thank you for this great video

But that doesn’t include the tip which is expected and going to be hefty and most people go there and get what they shoot mounted too since you don’t get to keep the meat. Then you pay for shipping of your mounts back to the US. Grand total it’ll be well over 10k

I'm 1000% into doing a hunt with Mullet Man!!! I really didn't realize how affordable it was to hunt in Africa!

My 40th is in 3 years... now I have a goal

Nice Breakdown for the oversea Hunters, Yet we as South African Hunters feel that we have been sifted to the side because of the exchange rate... Yes this Farm is in Namibia, I have work out accordingly to our rates in South Africa Farms Rand to the Doller, only the animals in doller come to a total of $135k were in South African you could hunt the same package in South African rand as follows as an Southa African, Daily per Hunter Rates R500 , Impala R2 200 warthog R1000 Springbok R1500 Oryex between R5000 and R15000 depending on the area, I personally think and feel that the States/overseas Hunters are killing our local hunters and hunters children's to become hunters because of the exchange rate and that our local farmers don't see the damage that the are currently doing to our local Hunters trying to teach our children to hunt as there parents because of the amount of money involved and the exchange rate #huntingisfun

Hey guys just wanted to put this out there since I did not put this in the video. If you are serious about going to Ekuja to hunt with me email: Ekuja.hunting@gmail.com and tell drikus what animals you would be interested in how many people will be in your party and that you are looking to book for the “mulletman” trip. You will be put on the list and we will reach back out with further details! Thanks guys looking forward too it

Man i would love to hunt with you!

What about the break down for mounts and shipping?

I’m in for next year !

you should talk mount prices as i believe for many hunters thats also a very wanted piece of the whole hunt africa experience

Thank you

That’s not bad. I would love to hunt there.

HOLY i mean like you said it IS a lot for SOME people, but for people who are AVID hunters, I MEAN SHIT ive heard of salmon fishing trips for a week that were 2-3 thousand more per week than this... and the fact that is is pretty much an "all inclusive hotel stay" by that i mean all meals, drinks and everything else included in the daily cost, THAT IS WAYYYY cheaper then I thought it would be tbh, I would have thought a MINIMUM of 10k like minnnnnimum this is VERY interesting, looks like a shit load of fun, the guys who run the place seem top notch dudes, defs adding this onto my bucket list!

Flight 1000,- Daily rate 200-500, plus Animal price!

Africa is my dream location to hunt I would love to go there some day

Would be a dream to go hunt out there with you.

Would like to hunt a different country to bow hunt and would like to get some bow hunting tips from you

I’m interest MulletMan!!!!!

Damn that is very great price I would like to hunt with you

That would be so awesome and if I didn’t have to be my moms caretaker I’d be in.

Shipping and taxidermy. Double your cost of your safari but you can spread that cost out over a year or two or more if you have a good taxidermist that works with you.

can you explain how the taxidermy and getting heads back to through customs work?

This is a lot of valuable information. Thank you so much. You actually answered most of my questions. What about someone new to hunting and ina wheelchair. Can they accommodate them? I understand if they can not.

Man I would love to go on hunt to Africa man that’s something that’s on my bucket list for sure how do you get started

Don't underestimate the taxidermy costs that's the one you don't expect. The cost of dip and pack and shipping then the clearing agent. That gets expensive fast

It would be amazing to get to hunt with you.

How are kudu populations doing in Namibia? I was at the western hunting expo and some of the outfits where saying that they got hit hard and some where saying their still getting big bulls.

That’s way more affordable than I could’ve ever imagined!!

If tou are from the US you have the xchange rate i your favour. Currently it is abouve 19 nam dollar for 1 US dollar

I would go hunt with you. Can’t go 2024 but 2025 I’m down.

How much does it cost for the taxidermy and to have it shipped to you.

Don’t forget about the taxidermy

What if you wanted a mount on what you get. Is that included in the price of the animal with shipping or is the mount and shipping extra?

What about getting the skulls home? Is there stuff for the wife to do while I'm hunting?

Do you bring your own gun what’s the price of that getting it through customs

Any prices on having your mounts shipped back ?

Are the mounts for the animals factored into that 6k price or does each mount more cost you? Thanks man love the content Africa is a bucket list trip for me

so we can’t take any of the meat home? also what if we want to do a animal mount?

Family trip for 6k however you priced this for 1 person lol also never mentioned shipping and taxidermy 👀

You can own a 5 star luxury Boutique Safari Lodge in Big 5 territory for $2m. Absolutely beautiful. Talk to me.

What about hunting license and do use his guns

You haven’t added the government taxes , the salt and get it ready to ship then they hit you with transportation of the hides to be shipped then the actual shipping. I hunted Africa in 2013. A lot of fees you don’t see coming

Cost to get skulls, horns, and capes home? Taxidermy ? I am guessing a ten day trip all in including tips, $15K ?

Crocs and socks in Africa 😂

Dang 6 grand? Sign me up

Can you get trophies?

What about taxidermy

Flying from Hawaii is suuuuper expensive 😅

If you thought it was expensive as an American or European then you should realise how it's impossible for a South African to hunt in South Africa. With the hunting farms catering for the overseas market and our rand's value against the dollar or euro at around R20 to 1.

biggest thing have some extra cash its africa u can bump into anything, dont want to miss out on that once in a life time trophy because your budget didnt allow for it :)

That’s not how we ever vacationed. $6k

Do you need to have a gun license to hunt

How much would it cost to just go to see the animals, no hunting. I can not see good enough to use a firearm safely.

I’ll probably never meet you, let alone HUNT with the Mullet Man 🤦‍♂️

Can you keep the head and the hide of the animals you shoot ?

My only issue is you're literally plucking these animals off Straight from the water trough and salt blocks...

You are hunting on a high fence game ranch. That's not a safari. That's not even real hunting. Go to the bush & it's a different story & a far better experience

Can u keep and if so how much does it cost to get something like the animal hides or mounts of an animal that u shoot?
