Thank you all for the warm welcome.
To answer a few of your questions, I have identified an area adjacent to the Okavango delta (this area is within the borders of Namibia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe) We regularly visit the location in order to check on human activity and also see disturbance if any on our arms/provisions stash.
This area is also adjacent to the old "Dorsland Trek" route that the boers used in the 1800's. Abundance of wild life, seasonal springs and some underground water. Wild veggies also available. The area is currently declared "Red" due to foot and mouth disease, tse tse flies that carries sleeping disease is also a big issue. However, using traditional San Bushmen herb remedies the latter can be controlled/managed and foot and mouth have no danger to humans.
I have hunted in this area since the early 70's and my dad and his dad before that. (Our family descends from the German era in Namibia.) As for lion, leopard and other wild animals, I am more careful of buffalo and heyena, again keeping your camp clean and staying vigilant can manage the above.
But then again....we will be entering their area and habitat and this will need to be handeled as required.
