In a continuous effort to provide, topmost hunting areas and trophy quality game to our hunters, Limpopo Big Game Safaris signed a 5-year hunting agreement in the
Kalahari.

Limpopo Big Game Safaris now offers access to 75,000 acres of untouched beautiful landscape in the Kalahari, North West Province, South Africa. The Molopo Private
Reserve is situated in one of the most isolated and remote locations of the country. The terrain offers our hunters an unforgettable, treasure-able hunting experience
and an unspoiled Africa adventure. The Molopo river runs through the reserve and in it’s mid the river forms a significant piece of the border between Botswana and
South Africa. This piece of paradise allows you to track and hunt, without the visibility of fences for days on end. The animals on quota for trophy hunting, cannot be
describe other than overwhelming.

This is one of the very scarce, preserved areas in South Africa where hunters can pursue a natural wild managed Lion. 15 years ago, the owner introduced 15 adult
Lions to the reserve. Today they have bred naturally, survived in a free-range, un-captive environment and thrived on their hunting grounds since 2005, and have been
self-sustainable ever since.

Limpopo Big Game Safaris, with our proven track record of hunting and a solid believe that hunting is conservation, can now offer our hunters the opportunity to hunt a
Wild Managed Lion on a strict quota base.

It is imperative for us to re-iterate, that the hunt, is NOT a Wild Lion Hunt, it is NOT a CBL or Put & Take Hunt, this hunt is for a Wild MANAGED Lion Hunt.

Re-emphasizing, that the hunt is managed, and that strict quotas apply, only adult males, no longer part of a pride will be hunted and a selected few Lionesses are also
listed on limited quota.

Keeping within the ethical culture, conservation policies of this reserved piece of land, only a selective number of hunters, supportive of ethical hunting and the
appreciation of nature’s wildlife, thriving on the adventure of a true fair chase hunt will be invited every year.

The usual Kalahari Plains Game is to be found in abundance on the reserve, whilst Buffalo, Rhino, Sable, Roan, Leopard, Cheetah, Brown Hyena, and smaller
carnivores occur in healthy numbers. Whilst on Safari, you are privileged to add to your list additional trophies, whether it is Plains Game such as Sable, Roan, Kudu,
Eland, Gemsbuck or Springbuck. Limpopo Big Game Safari will also compile additional packages should your preference be to exclusively hunt Buffalo or Plains Game
as an example.

All trophy animals, including Lions are exportable, however, the following countries do not currently allow the importation of Lions.
Australia
France
USA and the Netherlands

I don't mean to split hairs but this sounds like a legitimate wild lion hunt to me. If they have 75K acres and a are completely self sustaining then why wouldn't they by considered wild?

Thank you for the question Sir

So, I think the main reason would be that the first generation Lions / Introduced Lions we CBL and because of that reason the second and third generation Lions will then be considered Wild Managed Lions.

These Lions live in the wild just like wild Lions and I get your point on them actually being wild Lions. But for all technical reasons they are called Wild Managed Lions.

Hope this helps some.

Just curious. Do these lions all make their own kills or are they fed on occasion by humans? Did they kill the Buffalo in the picture themselves?

He is being very honest, and that is commendable.

Frostbit thank you for the question, the Lions hunt and catch their own pray and are never fed by humans. The Lion pictured with a Buffalo kill has caught it's own pray.

As if they do not have enough!

Bossie,

Glad to see this as you've made it crystal clear what one would be buying. There is no subterfuge about a wild lion wondering over from Botswana or anything else.

Good for you and best of luck!

Mark

Good deal. The buff prices are a bit steep but the Lion and daily rates low.

MARK H. YOUNG Thank you Sir

Yes as you say, "crystal clear" I found that part to be quite essential when posting here

Bossie,

Is the lion hunted by traditional baiting where you wait for the lion to come back to a hanging bait or are you tracking the lion from a bait or natural kill?

Mark

Hi Mark

Shooting of a bait or sitting on one is not permitted/legal as far as my knowledge goes. ( I could be wrong) However, nothing prevents us to bait and track or track from a kill.

I think that would be very exciting to bait, check camera traps and then follow a mature cat.

But, to answer the question, tracking will be the primary methods of hunting.

Bossie,

That's what I thought. Exciting stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark

I have been hunting lion for many years.

I have shot a lot of them, some where followed, others on bait.

The unwanted excitement happened last year, as the lion attacked our blind in total darkness, tore holes in it!

Ended up shooting him the next day, followed a few days later by shooting another one after following it.

When is the lion hunt available?

Good day Mr Graves
I have replied to your email

Kind regards
