Hunting Season
Lion hunting is available year-round.

Hunting Method
Baiting and Spot and stalk. Patience and persistence are the two words often associated with a successful Zimbabwe lion hunt. Hanging bait, looking for fresh lion sign, hanging more bait, checking baits, all these being every day routines to a hunt, rather monotonous, until things start to fall into place. After one of the baits has been fed on, the PH will decide if there was a lion that visited the bait worth having a look at. This can be worked out by the size of the tracks around the bait or as often the case a large maned lion will leave behind some of his mane hairs on the bait, giving you an idea or indication on the length of his mane. After all preparations are finished and all is in place the waiting game will then begin.

From the time of your arrival until your departure from Zimbabwe this Professional Hunter (PH) will ensure that your Zimbawe lion hunt experience is comfortable, exiting and rewarding. The hunt takes place on a huge, UNFENCED area near Victoria Falls. This Zimbabwe lion hunt includes a PH, vehicle, meals, drinks, accommodations, skinner, tracker. Camp will be in thatched chalets.

A great deal has been said about canned lion hunting, but we can assure you that this Zimbabwe lion hunt is for free ranging lions in large, unfenced areas.
