Before the country Burkina Faso sank into chaos, I hunted in the same area every year for over 15 years.

When there were a lot of buffalos in the area, there were also a lot of lions. I spotted a few every day. If there were few buffaloes there were also few lions to be seen. If there were a lot of lions there were also a lot of killed young buffaloes and antelopes in the bush, but that did not endanger the survive of the plain game. Certainly there was no in this area mass tourism hunting like in South Africa, and Lion hunting was reduced to a minimum.
