Unfortunately the hunter who was booked for this had to pull out. This is a much coveted tag . We have had 100 % success so far on 6 year plus lions so if you want a massive lion then this is a great offer.
Last 2 lions we took within the first 10 days.
If for some reason you are unsuccessful you will only be required to pay our buffalo daily rate of $1250 for the 21 days. This is highly unlikely though.
This is a great opportunity to get the lion of your dreams before it's too late!

This is the lion from last year, unfortunately previous lion pics are not on my photobucket for uploading.

Good Lord, did you let that lion sit out in the sun for a week or so before you took that pic? That thing is huge.

He be gorgeous.

Dutch

that lion is a brute!!

You can't know how badly I'd like to book this. If I wasn't already booked this year in Tanzania and a partner in a very understanding firm, but that actually expects me to generate some revenue, I'd jump on this.

Yes Kevin he was a sod!

Is anyone as tempted as I am on this?
Ross

Absolutely....
It's a dream hunt..that Lion is a STUD and our Friends at the Duckworth Family are First Class
I always seem to be limited by two pesky little details...
1) Time
2) Money
Not necessarily in that order!!
If I was only an International Man of Leisure with unlimited budget!!!

This is the other male I took the a couple years back. Finally uploaded it to photobucket. Another big bodied beautiful cat.

Interestingly father and son shot these two lions two years apart from the exact same tree blind !!

There is also an elephant bull still available in the same area so if taken on this hunt would be for trophy fee of $21 000.

This is the bull taken there last year. This elephant bull and lion at the top were shot 3 days apart..

This is the brothers track of the first lion pictured. He is still out there. Note the size of his track and his right toe digs in slightly as he has a slight limp.

Exciting stuff when you see a track this size heading to your bait!

My advice would be to take this great opportunity and you may never get another.

This buffalo was also taken on the same safari, 41 inch spread and SCI score of 112.5" !! Buffalo day 6, elephant day 8 and lion day 10. This is a great area with top quality hunting. Take this opportunity before its gone forever.

Sorry forgot to attach the picture first time!

Are there any plains game species available also? So if my math is right and the hunter ends up taking a lion, buffalo and the elephant you would be just under $100,000 US? Expensive but the hunt of a lifetime

I can't for see any situation where I would ever be able to do a hunt where a lion was involved, but I am glad that these hunts continue to exist.

Hi all
Thanks for the interest shown on this hunt. It is now sold so no longer available.
