What does it cost to hunt with AMS?
Less than a similar hunt would cost with most other
HO's! Here at AMS we take pride in the fact that we claim to offer
unsurpassable value for money spent on any safari.
Andrew McLaren Safaris arrange many custom safaris to a diverse
selection of hunting concessions where trophy fees vary widely. Short
of by publishing a price list for each concession area we can simply
NOT give a single price list without overcharging for hunting at some
concessions. You do however need a price list while planning your hunt,
and for this I publish the MAXIMUM prices likely to ever be charged by
AMS. Although the hunt you have with Andrew McLaren Safaris will be of
far above average in quality and enjoyment, mostly as a result of and
through thorough prior planning, I can often beat many of these maximum
prices in the actual binding Remuneration Agreement. So for the initial
planning and with some margin of error you can use the prices as a
guide.
Once you have made a definite enquiry, I will plan your hunt and then
quote you prices that will apply for that particular hunt.
My prices are always negotiable!
Note that these prices are quoted in ZAR and do not take cognizance of
the current exchange rate. These cost should therefore only be used as
a first approach very rough guide to what to expect. In response to
your specific enquiry Andrew McLaren Safaris will quote you for a
custom safari in South African Rand, the amount which you can enter in
a currency converter to get a feel of the cost at the exchange rate
that applies on the day you do the conversion.
Note that on a custom arranged safari lower, and even significantly lower, pricing may apply. Please ask for a quote before you start disregarding AMS as "to pricey!"
These prices can be used as a guide to what you can expect to pay for the services. Note that Andrew McLaren Safaris quote all prices in South African Rand, and due to exchange rate fluctuations the actual US $ and cost in other currencies may vary.
