​​Hunting the Dangerous 7 of Africa.
Experience the ultimate thrill of facing danger head-on. Nothing compares to hunting Africa's Dangerous 7. Grab your big guns and prepare for an adrenaline-fueled adventure like no other!
The Dangerous 7 is a group of Africa's most formidable animals. It includes the Big 5—Leopard, Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino—and is completed by the addition of the Hippo and Crocodile. When hunting these large and powerful animals, it's important to note that a minimum rifle caliber is recommended for safety. The .375 is the most commonly used caliber for dangerous game hunts and is considered the minimum required for these pursuits.
Hunting Buffalo.

LION
The Lion—truly a magnificent creature. Known as the King of the Jungle, the Lion commands respect for good reason. With paws as large as frying pans, it has the strength to bring down anything in its path. Its powerful jaws and unmatched speed make it a heart-pounding hunt unlike any other. However, it’s essential to understand that lions are highly protected, and the regulations around importing their trophies vary depending on the country. Always consult with your outfitter to ensure the lion you're hunting is exportable, and remember to maintain proper documentation throughout the process.
LEOPARD
The elusive and majestic Leopard stands as the ultimate achievement in dangerous game hunting. In our view, securing a Leopard is the pinnacle of the hunt. Leopard tags have become increasingly rare and are only available in select African countries. Once a tag is obtained, the preparation begins immediately to ensure a successful hunt. The effort involved is immense, from traveling hundreds of miles tracking the animal to determining the perfect pre-baiting locations. Weeks of setting up trail cameras and preparing baits go into making this hunt one for the books. All of this dedication is aimed at delivering the perfect hunt for the perfect animal.
ELEPHANT
Elephant hunting, when done ethically and within strict conservation frameworks, becomes one of the most profound and demanding quests a hunter can undertake. It’s not just the sheer size of the animal that humbles you, but the way an entire landscape seems to shift around these giants—their silence, their intelligence, and their ability to vanish into thick bush despite their enormous presence. Tracking an old, past-breeding bull tests every ounce of patience, bushcraft, and respect you carry into the field. And when the moment finally comes together, it’s not just a trophy—it’s the culmination of days of hard work, careful decision-making, and a deep connection to Africa’s wild places. For many, it stands as the ultimate safari experience, one that leaves you changed long after the dust has settled.
HIPPO
The Hippo—its name should almost be synonymous with danger. Despite being primarily herbivores, hippos are responsible for more animal deaths in Africa than any other species. This powerful aquatic creature carries impressive weight and can run surprisingly fast despite its size. Hippos are truly remarkable animals, and taking a photo next to one is an experience you won’t forget! From scouting to the shot and the recovery that follows, this hunt will leave you with unforgettable stories and memories that will last a lifetime.
