I won a trip to South Africa that includes gemsbok, kudu and impala, I plan to add 2 or 3 more and extend from 5 days to 9 while there. My plan is to euro all animals and dip and ship back here where I plan to shoulder mount the 3 I mentioned when I'm able to afford to do so. I do plan to have a zebra made into a rug in Africa as that's been suggested already.
If you have an advice it's appreciated as well as info on travel, vaccinations and whether it is worth bringing my own rifle with, I'd prefer to take one with. Feel free to recommend taxidermists as well, I'm leaning towards Orion at the moment.
I'd be heading over the end of April start of May.
Thanks in advance.

Try and go later in the year if possible, June/July is prime and the leaves will be off the trees by then.
Also make sure you look closely at the prices of additional days and animals you want to hunt. There’s lots of people who win short plains game Safaris and by the time they add extra days and animals they end up paying more then just booking a hunt with somebody.
Just a couple things to think about
