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.

TANZANIA: Safari ya Marafiki (Safari of Friends) Mwatisi Safaris

Safari ya Marafiki (Safari of friends) Mwatisi Safaris Jerome establishing AH changed my perspective on hunting internationally with friends. This hunt is the first international hunt I have done with friends and probably won’t be the last. It is interesting how friendships can develop through...

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.
 
Tanks, I could help you in one of the western Tanzania areas we hunt.
Please feel free to email me. info@spearsafaris.com

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

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
