In Hwange National Park – a critical landscape once home to the world-famous Cecil the lion – we learn about the region’s importance from SACT’s Brian Courtenay, gain insight into Cecil’s legacy and the local lion population with guide Tendayi, and meet the park’s frontline anti-poaching unit, The Scorpions. With the debate around hunting intensifying at this stage of our journey, we travel to Bulawayo to speak with Zimbabwean big-game hunter Peter Fick, exploring how he operates and hearing his perspective on the role hunting plays in conserving lions and protecting Africa’s remaining wild spaces.
