SAFARI 101:

A comprehensive informational DVD for the first-time safari hunter.

 

Africa is the ultimate hunting destination, but most hunters will never make the trip.  It's not that they don't want to go.  It's the process that seems so overwhelming...until now.  Safari 101 is THE comprehensive guide for the first-time safari hunter. 

 

Let's face it;  most big game hunters' bucket list dream is an African Safari, but lack of information and the often incorrect perception that a safari is too expensive keep most of us from even considering the possibility, but it doesn't have to be that way. 

 

Hosted by outdoor television producer and renowned international hunting expert Steve Scott, Safari 101 is a step-by-step informational DVD on what it takes to make your hunting dreams a reality.  From the best places to hunt and  how to pick your Professional Hunter, to African hunting techniques and how to get your trophies home, Safari 101 contains all the information necessary to make your first African safari a rousing success.   Here's a brief outline of what is covered:
