Opportunity for cheap vermin safari in SA?

[Monkeyman]

I recently read an article in a UK publication about vermin hunting on farms in SA and how farmers were quite happy to lodge shooters who shot monkeys, small cats and other livestock/produce destroying critters. I am a vermin hunter in the Caribbean (for bounty) and would really like any information anyone might have on vermin hunting on farms in SA (for sport, not pay). Seems like a cheap way to see a bit of the country and do a bit of shooting, any ideas?

Unfortunately an alien non-resident hunter must be accompanied by a PH so that daily fee will usually make varmint hunting expensive. Figure on 200 bucks a day minimum for vermin. If this is something that interests you I can help arrange it.

The 200 bucks a day would include accomadations as well.

Thanks jj. Wasn't planning on spending $200 per day to shoot vermin, was thinking cheap local guide, Land Rover diesel money and off into the bush for the day. I get paid $7.50 per tail to shoot them down here, takes a dent out of fuel, rifle and ammo costs while providing great sport. I shoot about 50 a month just on weekends and before/after work.

Thanks for the info anyway, I think I'll save my money to pay for a decent safari in a couple of years, maybe to co-incide with a cricket test-match. Hopefully we'll be out of the slump by then
