A lion is perhaps the most iconic animal in Africa, with its golden mane flowing in the wind and its roar echoing through the savannah. But taking down a lion is no simple feat. Lions are highly skilled predators, incredibly strong, and extremely dangerous when provoked or wounded. That's why hunting a lion is considered to be the ultimate test of a hunter's skill, confidence, and courage. But thanks to Shoshone Adventures, you can embark on a fair-chase African lion hunt right in the heart of the Kalahari region, right on the border of Botswana.

Spotting a lion track in the sandy soils of the Kalahari and then stalking across the light brush and grass cover is an experience that is hard to put into words. The thrill of the chase, the rush of adrenaline as you get closer to your prey, and the satisfaction of a successful hunt make lion hunting an unforgettable experience. And when you're hunting with Shoshone Adventures, you'll be in the capable hands of experienced and respected dangerous game professional hunters who will ensure your safety at all times.

But a lion hunt is not just about the thrill of the chase. It's also about the trophy quality. Trophy quality is determined by the age, mane, size of the head, and the overall size of the body. Lions are typically identified as either mature or sub-adult. Males make for great trophies, especially those with impressive manes, which is why a big maned male is regarded as the #1 trophy for many hunters traveling to Africa. But female lions can also make for great trophies, especially if they have a record of aggressive behavior.
