Planning
Step 1:
Contacting your Booking Agent
Get in touch with Brendan or Chef Luke, they will go over your options for a Safari and create a custom Safari Package tailored to your needs. Once you approve the quote, the next and biggest step is finalizing your Safari dates. Logistically, everything revolves around these initial dates. Flights to Johannesburg and to Kimberley run multiple times a day, so we can start your Safari on any available date. Click HERE to start building your customized Safari.
Step 2:
Finalize Dates
Once we get your dates squared away, a simple deposit is paid to put the dates into the Calendar. Your payment options will be Cash, PayPal or Credit card. We will send over an updated hunting contract with all pertinent info, from a packing list to food preferences and more.
Step 3:
Finalize Flights
After you confirmed your dates for your unforgettable trip to Africa, it’s time to make some travel arrangements. Chef Luke will help guide you with booking your flights, to ensure that you are on the right place at the right time. We will coordinate all lodging and vehicle transportation in Africa. At this point, if you are bringing a firearm, we will work with the appropriate authorities to get your license paperwork filled out. The license paperwork will be waiting for you upon your arrival as well as a friendly HTK Representative.
Step 4:
Relax and enjoy the excitement
At this time we will send over our most recent HTK Safari Guide. It will answer 90 percent of the gear and packing questions you should have. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. An HTK representative will reach out to you about a month prior to your trip to go over any last minute questions you might have. After that, you are good to go and we will be ready to pick you up upon your arrival in South Africa.
