as for lion hunting - make sure you hit it:

Woa lucky sob close quarter combat with a lion isn't exactly my idea of a relaxing holiday.

That heritage movement sounds interesting, do they sell the meat through niche stores or is it only served in certain restaurants?

I was in Africa last fall. I did not hunt but went on safari at a few different locations: here are few pics...you can p-shop some cross-hairs on the animals if you want.

However, if you really want to hunt a dangerous animal, I would head for Australia instead where you can stare death right in the eye:

I'll upload of few more pics to my TS photo album in case anyone is interested.
