This spectacular lion hunt is set in South Africa’s North West province, in the Kalahari bush-veld, an area renowned for great trophy specimens.
After landing at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met by your outfitter, AH as he likes to be called, or a member of his team.. You will then depart by road transfer to the Lion hunting grounds in South Africa’s North West province. Leaving Johannesburg, the drive is around 4 hours, taking you through a variety of scenery, from the urban jungle of the Gauteng province to rural landscapes and areas of the North West province. The hunting grounds are situated outside Tosca and are renowned for their dangerous game hunting trophies.
The North West province remains a sought-after game hunting destination, offering hunters a variety of both African plains game and dangerous game hunting options. The area is also home to captive-bred or “canned” lion hunting safaris.
Let me be clear: This is NOT an easy hunt with a tame African lion and lioness to use as target practice! Be prepared for a dangerous, exciting, and adrenaline-filled hunt that will see you stalking your prey across the open savannas and grasslands. These African cats will not go down without a fight! One swipe of a lion’s paw is known to take a man down, what damage can a mouthful of sharp teeth do?
The landscape provides the perfect backdrop for a spot and stalk, with the terrain including open grasslands, hilly areas as well as semi-desert regions. To the west of the province, the area is both drier and flatter, while the eastern section of the North West province is known to have more bushveld-type terrain.
The lodge for your 7 nights in the Kalahari will provide a home away from home and cater to meet and exceed your needs. Comfortable accommodation with home comforts allows hunters to relax and wash off the day’s hunting adventures. A variety of amenities are available, including a swimming pool and daily laundry service.
South African hospitality is the order of the day, and the chef knows exactly how to whip up tasty cuisine to tempt those taste buds! As part of your dining experience, expect a variety of meat dishes including meat from local hunting safaris. And, of course, no safari is complete without a traditional South African braai!
This location is renowned for its prized lion trophies. While it is a captive-bred lion hunting adventure, these African cats are wild and aggressive, providing the hunter with a challenging hunting experience.
Offering a traditional hunting experience, the hunt will be a spot and stalk on foot, so ensure that you are fit enough to keep pace as you maneuver your way through the bushveld terrain. The tracker will lead you closer to the apex predator, keep your wits about you, and remember to make that first shot count!
Experience the excitement of tracking and stalking your prey through the Kalahari region, with skilled trackers targeting this majestic cat. Lions are intelligent, fierce, and a worthy adversary on any hunting safari. Add to this a lioness and you have a hunting match made in heaven. Do not underestimate this cunning female cat: What she lacks in stature she makes up for in attitude, aggression, and sheer attitude. Many hunters will share that a lioness hunt is by far more exciting and challenging!
You can expect to wake up, before sunrise and begin the day with breakfast and coffee in the main hunting lodge. Thereafter, as the sun rises, you will head out with the trackers and dangerous game professional hunters.
The hunting party commence by driving the roads looking for any sign of fresh lion tracks where the Lion may have crossed the night before. Since lions are nocturnal, and mostly prefer to hunt at night, they will then be most active. If the tracker spots a fresh set of tracks, that’s when the real Lion hunt will begins.
This hunt is all about tracking and stalking a Lion on foot, so be prepared. These Lions know when they are being tracked and will try to outmaneuver you, circle you. Lions are masters of blending in.
Once you get a visual on the Lion, you and your PH will find the best place to set up and take your shot from. Under pressure, these Lions have ” humor failure” and are quick to turn and charge. Don’t miss. It’s a heart-pounding and exciting hunt that puts you right up close and personal.
