Indeed there are both lions and tigers in India. Though not much lions
there anymore.

In South Africa there are a few private reserves which have tigers. One
even breeds tigers to create a surplus in case they would need to be
"restocked" in India.....

I remember seeing an ad a few years ago for a game farm in South Africa
which was for sale. The text mentioned: "Included in the sale are 4
tigers. You may keep these or (if you can catch them) sell them".
