TRIP DETAILS
Zambia, formerly called North Rhodesia has a mere 11 million inhabitants for 744,000 km2. With a tropical climate tempered by altitude, formed mainly of hills and plateaus, Zambia, along with Tanzania, is one of the last African countries in which big game hunting is practiced successfully in large, wild expanses.
We hunt in several territories, notably on a 300 000 ha piece of land with a 25km long border with the Kafue National Park! A variety of species can be found here : Lions, Leopards, Cape buffalo, Sable antelope, Crocodile, Hippo, Greater kudu, Bushbuck, Bushpig, Duiker, Cape grysbok, Hartebeest, Hyena, Impala, Oribi, Puku, Reedbuck, Defassa waterbuck (Crawshays), Zebra and Warthog!
The recently renovated and very comfortable camp is located on the banks of the Kafue River where it is also possible to fish. The quality of food here is one rarely reached by other hunting camps!
The hunting period begins on the 1st of May and ends in November. If you are looking to hunt Lion and Leopard, we recommend you come between May and August. For Buffalo and plain game we recommend August to October.
TRANSPORT
You will have to get to Lusaka via Johannesburg, Adis ababa or Nairobi (consult us). Once you arrive in Lusaka, our team will welcome you and guide you through the procedures until the departure of the domestic flight which will take you to the hunting area (45 min flight).
ACCOMODATION & TRANSPORT
The camps have kept the all the African charm of yesteryear whilst retaining modern comfort. The tents are spacious, completely airtight and are suitable for two people. A large bathroom and toilet can be found at the back of the tent. Each camp also contains a fridge, freezer, with power coming from solar panels or generators. Electrical outlets (220 V) and WIFI are available in all camps. A Toyota Land Cruiser equipped with hunting gear will be available to you.
The airstrip is about 1.5 hours from the camp.
WEAPONS & AMMUNITIONS

Soft-tip bullets (300 grains) mostly and armored (5 to 10 max.), Same brand of bullet for the entire stay. The rifle should preferably be equipped with a telescopic sight with good luminosity and sighted in beforehand by a gunsmith.
