I am looking for recommendations for a wild lion hunt. RSA is out for obvious reasons. If I were to go to Zimbabwe I would hunt with Buzz and CMS again, so recommendations for a Zimbabwe outfitter is not needed. Though, after two years in a row in Zimbabwe I would like to try other countries.

The lion has to be importable to USA. I am looking at 2023 or 2024 as my dance card for this year is full with 68 days already scheduled for out of the country. If we can include a tuskless that we can use for bait it would be great, but I am open to anything for that.

Thanks in advance.
 
You could look into Jamy Traut safaris area in Kalahari in Namibia. I know their quota changes from year to year, but may be a very good option for a tracking wild lion hunt. Also very good gemsbok and eland there and a few other species. If I hunt with them again, it would be next area I’d visit and focus on eland.
 
Mwatisi in Tanzania.

The number of cats is stunning.

 
What about Lion in CAR? I think Alain did a tracking hunt for wild lion a year or so ago.
 
Aren't tuskless only available in Zim?

I may be mistaken but I don't think they are importable.
 
I'm headed to Maswa in Tanzania with Mike Fell in 2023. Not sure if they are full yet for 2024.
 
Tanzania IMO. No tuskless but u can add an Ele for ~10k either way. The lion trophy fee will be large and the mane likely relatively small.
 
Don’t overlook Richard Bell-Cross in Zambia. He has Lunga Luswishi, which is in the Kafue region. He has an excellent area for both Lion & Leopard. Great area, great PH, all around Good Guy.

I’m glad to hear something on him. I hunted with him for plains game in 2006 and had a great hunt. It was an amazing area at time, hopefully still is.

Tanzania gets my vote.

Maswa lions can often be taken in the daytime without bait.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
