A large mature Burkina Faso lion hunted fair and square.

Burkina Faso (BF) in West Africa is off the beaten path for most American safari hunters. Burkina Faso however offers a terrific lion hunting experience, but its certainly not for everyone! Firstly and foremostly lions cannot be hunted over bait in BF as one normally does in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia etc. Lions are tracked and shot face to face at close range. This method of lion hunting separates the men from the boys in my opinion as the lion knows someone is after him and they are on their guard.

These lion hunts are conducted in the hot summer months when temperatures are often 40 deg+C = 100s in F! The hot summer months is when the lions are easiest to locate as they are generally in close proximity to water holes where their ambush their prey and once having made a kill generally lie up in dense vegetation close by during the hot midday hours.

One important point of note is that lions in BF genetically do not grow large manes. But keep in mind that a lion hunted this way will more than make up for any short comings in the hair department! The lions themselves are big bodied mature wild animals.
A lion hunt in Burkina Faso also offers the additional advantage of hunting a variety of other unique west african game species that are not available in most southern african hunting destinations. These include, West African species of buffalo, waterbuck, bushbuck as well as Western roan and the smaller antelope such as Oribi, duikers and so on.

With the current exchange rate of the dollar to the Euro, Burkina Faso lion hunts are also probably the cheapest lion hunts available today.
