Sport hunting isn’t wrong i am mostly speaking of the US and lower Africa

Sport hunting funds up to 70precent of conservation in sub Saharan Africa
Helps with herd health by killing older only consumer large trophy animals increasing available food it also isn’t one sided hunters die and get injured this is following the expectation of a clean kill often caned or vehicle mounted hunting is wrong and often illegal as it is cruel and unsportsmanlike a caned hunt is were the animals are tied drugged or beaten so they don’t flee or fight back also

First safari, looking for advice

My husband and I are starting to plan an African Safari. We want to see the big 5 of course and just do wildlife (no need for beach). Suggestions on when and where to have the best first safari experience? And suggestions on companies to use? Love any and all advice! Thanks!

Looking for lions.

I'm looking for recommendations from people with firsthand experience across Southern Africa.

I have clients whose top priority is seeing LOTS of lions. I've been fortunate to see some incredible sightings myself, including a pride of around 20 in Kruger, but that was only for about an hour. Beyond that, my lion sightings have tended to be smaller prides and/or less consistent. I'm hoping to find a destination where exceptional lion viewing is the norm rather than the exception.

I'm interested in reserves, parks, or concessions anywhere in Southern Africa where you've consistently had outstanding lion sightings in a truly wild setting.

A few questions:

  • Where have you had your best lion encounters?
  • Was it a national park, private reserve, or private concession?
  • Were sightings frequent over several days or more hit-and-miss?
  • How would you compare the experience to places like Kruger, Sabi Sand, the Greater Kruger reserves, Kgalagadi, Okavango, Hwange, South Luangwa, etc.?

Thanks in advance! I'd especially love to hear from people who've visited multiple destinations and can make meaningful comparisons.
