    TANZANIA: Maasailand Hunt With Bullet Safaris

    Thanks for the report. The lion in my avatar was one of many we saw in the Serengeti. I cannot afford to hunt there but a trip to the Serengeti should be on everyone's bucket list.

    Thanks. All 3 parks were amazing. The large herds and the number of Lions in the Serengeti was beyond my dreams. We lost count of how many Lions we saw after a day and a halve.

    Food and Drink
