The German Colonial Society (Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft) has a large online archive of high quality photos from across Africa from the German colonial period (over 53,000 images). All of them are high quality scans, covering just about any topic you can think of.

The database is searchable in German or English. I did searches like "jagd" (653 results) or a combination like "jagd" and "Löwe" (59 results). The user interface is a bit clunky, but its a good place to spend a few hours browsing old photos.

Here's the link:

Here are some examples:

I saw this just now.
Thank you.

Nearby I noticed that you are living in South Korea.
I looked at Google Earth and saw lots of mountains and woods.
There must be something to hunt,isn't it ?

Sadly no. Firearms are illegal and there's one stocked farm in the whole country where you can hunt birds. Not worth the trip.

We went to NZ instead to hunt. That was great.
 
Thanks for the link!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
