When hunting dangerous game (meaning an animal that may attack the hunter when fired on) "stopping power" becomes very important. This refers to the rifle's ability to transmit enough force to the target to not only kill the animal but to turn or stop a charge. The best stoppers seem to be medium and big-bore rifles firing bullets of good sectional density (SD).

To ensure your hunt is legal you have to comply with all African hunting laws per country The Professional Hunter (PH) that guides you on your dangerous game hunt needs to have a Big 5 license – this means he has sufficient African Big 5 hunting experience to keep you away from harm. It does not matter how much the cost of an African Big 5 hunting safari is, a professional hunter cannot buy experience.
 

A wounded lion, leopard, or Cape buffalo adds adventure to a hunter’s life. The animal cannot be left to suffer, and other humans are put in danger from the fury of the beast. A good hunter must not only know the habits of the animals, be a good shot and know how to work in the wilderness; he must also have the courage to go into the heavy brush after the animal, knowing that a charge may well be inevitable. The hunter must remain alert, cool, and wholly focused on his task. When the action starts, he will have to act quickly; yet with confidence and control, or face the prospect of being mauled or killed.

Every big game hunter has thought about experiencing a hunt for these magnificent beasts. In my experience in the hunting world, nothing gets your adrenaline pumping and your senses running at their peak performance more than hunting dangerous game on the Dark Continent

The dangerous game trophy you are after, the type of area and terrain you want to hunt in, the lodging you desire as well as the price all determine which country you would choose for your dangerous game-hunting trip to Africa. Many factors go into a dangerous game hunt. In order to determine which country best suits you, you would need to make your dreams and desires for your dangerous game hunt concrete and decide what you would like to hunt. To find the perfect destination for your dream dangerous game hunt, we would have either a personal conversation or a phone conversation with you about what your dreams and goals are for your hunt. Once you tell me what you are looking for, I can match you with the best areas I have for your desires, dreams, goals, and budget.

After your dangerous game species, country and area are determined, we can then begin to plan your trip with you. We can recommend travel plans, travel agents, type and caliber of firearm to use, gun import procedures, shooting practice and shot placement just to name a few areas. A few parts of our job include making sure you are comfortable with the process of preparing for Africa, knowledgeable in traveling to your dangerous game area lodge, knowing what to take and what not to take, and much more.
