>>1827117>Is going on safari as exciting as it was back then?By all accounts, yes. It is true that there are some operations (i.e. canned shoots) where there is no risk and it is basically a point and shoot venture. However, there are also a huge amount of hunting opportunities in Africa that are fair chase and can offer you that authentic experience that you are after (i.e. in your case, fair chase and dangerous). One website that I find very useful for locating hunts is Book Your Hunt. Among other things, it lets you filter hunting trips based on destination, territory (i.e. not fenced or fenced), difficulty and game classification. If you are a hunter, I would certainly recommend checking it out. Full disclosure, I don't get any kickbacks from this company, I just think that it is a great resource for hunters.
https://www.bookyourhunt.com/en>I feel like with some species being endangered...You cannot hunt endangered animals, period. It is a serious felony to do so. In addition, the hunting of animals that are listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN (e.g. lion, etc.) is strictly controlled. And yes, there are plenty of fair chase hunting trips available for these types of animals.
>I also heard brazil was good for dangerous game hunting, is this true?From what I have read, hunting is currently illegal in Brazil. You may be thinking of other South American countries like Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina. The latter two do have hunting opportunities, but Paraguay is currently under review.
I hope that was helpful. Also, here is a piece from Death in the Long Grass about how durable crocodiles can be.
