The package page lists the animals and itineraries. Use the current USD price list alongside it. Have the quotation specify full hunting days, arrival/departure nights, the hunter-to-guide ratio, included animals and any additional costs. A published package heading is not a substitute for that itinerary.
For Kudu preparation, read the field-judging guide. For Eland, begin with the spiral-horned species comparison and ask about current availability. Family and observer arrangements and East London arrival planning help build the wider trip.
