After SCI, wife wants to go on Rovos Rail for the Pretoria to Vic Falls route. I’m adding on a hunt, and ~10k/7days is my target for daily rates and trophy fees. Preferred timeframe is August 2026, could do September.

I think hunting in Zim would be awesome, but I don’t think I can swing it on the allotted budget/schedule. Also, I have read that Zim isn’t the best for observers. Maybe RSA or Bots for PG?

Questions:
- Rail before or after the hunt?
- Pretoria to Vic Falls or Vic Falls to Pretoria?
- Given the budget, where to hunt?
- Should I take a rifle or use a camp gun?
