My wife worked as a nanny for a surgeon who went on these expeditions. He had stuffed lions and antelope in his house, it was pretty wild. The pricing isn’t listed on these, but here’s a site that gives people an idea of the huge amount of money these hunters are willing to pay. An exportable elephant trophy is $60,000 plus hundreds of dollars a day for general amenities. A basic package is more like $2500, where you’re hunting things like wildebeests and warthogs.

The whole Cecil the Lion thing shows what happens when the general public gets wind of these hunting expeditions, and negatively impacted the revenue for these preserves, unfortunately.
