Ah, the hunts are from the world over, including Europe & some Coon-Asses from Louisiana. The good thing is that all my outfitter friends, and many gun friends, can be found under one roof @ one time. Anything from Shore-Birds to Alligator. But yes, most of Afrika is high fence, even if a 2 million acre consortium. One just doesn't notice it. You see Cape with ear tags & Rhino too. Now you just don't see HIppo contained as they are a nasty lot. Even Crocks are lured to a feeding pond to be hunting. Say if UNESCO has a 4 million acre consortium, the along the main rivers where the Crocks are protected, the locals will make smaller pools and fill them with chickens, or similar, to get the Crocks attention. Then a paid hunter can knock him in the head. Baboons are a nasty lot too & a sharp & difficult quarry. You can't contain them & they must be shot @ distance.
Lots of Cape, Lion, Sable, etc farms across Afrika. If you fancy a Canned Hunt, I for one am not opposed to it @ all. Just not my Cup of Tea and I'll stay with Parakeets, Pigeon & Perdiz(Francolin Family Included). The Hunt is what you want to make it to be.
But as you say, West Afrika is still wild & I for one have been in the deepest, darkest Afrika running a recon team for Carbon Credits for the IMF. It is still and quite hostile today with the Wagner Group inciting to riot & keeping things on edge. And on the West side, the Belgians and their Rubber Plant effort are the ones to blame, in my humble opinion. Of course coupled with the fact that Tribes just can't tolerate one another.
I'll gladly meet you there & put you on a informative tour....
