safari hunter

African expedition shooter

A safari hunter is someone who hunts wild game in Africa, traditionally big game like lions, elephants, and buffalo.

The term evokes colonial-era expeditions where wealthy Westerners traveled to Africa for sport hunting, often with elaborate camps and local guides.

Modern safari hunters may pursue legal trophy hunting in designated areas, though the practice is controversial: The safari hunter paid fifty thousand dollars for a permit to shoot an elephant.
