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".

It doesn't seem to work the other way around. I remember sitting in a
restaurant in Etosha in 2001. The (local) assistant manager of Namutoni
Camp came to our table and sat with us. We chatted for quite a while. He
wanted to know about our home country (Netherlands) and was visible
surprised that we didn't have wildlife like elephants wandering
about.... :-)
