The Free-Range Lion Hunting Area

This is your chance to Hunt Lion in Tanzania in one of the great lion hunting areas in all of Africa! The lion hunt will take place in central Tanzania on a 1,500 sq. mile concession that borders Ruaha National Park and is part of the Rungwa ecosystem. This area is wild and your 18-day safari will be similar to Roosevelt’s and Hemmingway’s great adventures in Africa. The area is comprised of typical bush terrain and savannas, is generally flat, and has one large river running through it. The camp is located on the banks of this river.

The Free-Range Lion Hunt

This outfitter has had a success rate of 67% over the last five years. His clients take fully mature lions that comply with Tanzania’s regulations that only male lions that are 6 years of age or older may be taken. This is a good area to hunt lions, as there are a lot of lions in this area. You will cover a lot of ground via the comfortable land cruisers to collect, hang and check baits consistently until the focus is narrowed to one actively feeding trophy male leopard. The outfitter is an expert on  using trail cameras in conjunction with baiting for big cats. This Tanzanian outfitter typically experiences multiple lions on bait and provides a superior hunting experience for his clients. The outfitter has a proven track record of helping his clients kill trophy lions.  If you want to get your lion hunt on film, this is the hunt to do it on, as 100% of the cats are taken during daylight hours.

Cape Buffalo (2), sable, roan and other plains game may be taken on this hunt. These animals will be utilized as bait for your leopard hunt.  A list of trophy fees is available below:

The Lion Safari Camp

Although this is a wilderness hunt, you will stay in a 3-star tented camp. The lodging will consist of large East African-style tents with en-suite bathrooms. The tents will feature frame beds and mattresses with clean linens and blankets. The tents also feature windows, rugs, and complete floors. Laundry will be done daily and service staff will be on call at all times. Electrical power is provided by a generator. Internet and cell phone service is not available in camp. A satellite phone is available in camp in case of emergencies.

Food will consist of 3-course dinners, picnic lunches, and made-to-order breakfasts. Bottled water, beer, wine, and ice are all available and included.

The Free-Range Lion Outfitter

The lion outfitter has been hunting professionally in Africa since 2003. He is very hands-on and personally conducts more than half the hunts. His other PH has been professionally hunting for over 20 years and both are highly experienced lion hunters. You cannot be in better hands than when lion hunting in a remote area with this outfitter. The equipment is well-maintained and the staff is well-trained. 

GETTING THERE

You will fly into Dar es Salaam. From there, you will fly to Mbewe where the outfitter will meet you and transport you by vehicle for 5.5 hours to the hunting camp. An overnight stay in Dar es Salaam may be necessary depending on your time of arrival.

"This 10 day package safari was a fantastic experience. I learned many new hunting skills and made new friends.  I would go back and do it again in a heartbeat.  I'm going back. That says it all. Thanks to Discount African Hunts for setting me up on a fantastic plains game safari."

"I booked my crocodile hunt in Mozambique through Discount African Hunts. The hunt was great and my wife and I really enjoyed the service provided by the outfitter. Everything was done very professionally and the outfitter and his group went out of their way to provide us with a wonderful experience and a great time.

If we ever go back to Africa, I am sure that we will contact Discount African Hunts to set up another hunt with this outfitter."
