General Information: Safari Club International recently celebrated its 30 year anniversary in Tucson with reduced entrance fees, kid’s games and face painting, and food stands.

Safari Club International has been very supportive of the activities of the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter. The Chapter returned the favor.
