alright, here was his response on the largest he has seen


I asked
"thanks for the information. I have another question, I hear that okovongo lions may be some of the larger lions in africa and I was wondering how they compare for you? Im going to africa in sept., through serengeti and finishing in ngorongoro which hear are some of the largest lions in africa. So I guess my question is, how do delta lions compare from what you've seen? Thanks again for your time."


Looking for lions said:
"Some of the largest lions I've seen, and also talking to people around Botswana - the lions in the Kalahari are some of the biggest. I can't speak personally of East Africa because i havent been there. One of the males I collared south in the Delta was quite large, but the females higher up in the Delta, in the really swampy areas, are defintely of smaller stature, but they have impressive muscular builds which we assume is from wading in the water and the sand. I have heard other guides/travellers comment on this as well. Sounds like an awesome trip you are taking! Hope you enjoy!" Reply
