The number below is not an estimate from an old brochure — it is the live listed trophy-fee position for african lion across farms on Safari Hunts, and it updates automatically as outfitters adjust their price lists.
Platform guide price from the Safari Hunts species schedule. Per-farm listed ranges appear here automatically as outfitters publish this species.
Add the trophy fee to your daily-rate block: rate × nights × hunters. African Lion hunts sit comfortably inside a standard 5–7 night safari, and the species pairs naturally with other plains game to spread the daily-rate cost across several trophies. Deposits on Safari Hunts are 50% into escrow, balance 90 days before arrival, trophy fees settled at the farm for animals taken.
No animal in Africa carries more weight — biological, emotional, or regulatory — than a lion. A legitimate wild-managed lion hunt is a tracking hunt of the old school: reading pug marks at dawn, sorting a heavy-maned tom from females, and closing on foot with everything your PH has taught you. It is also the most heavily regulated hunt on the continent, and Safari Hunts lists lion only from operators whose permits and quotas stand up to scrutiny.
