Hunting in Zambia
The combination of unique hunting areas and professional staff has certainly meant an increase in great trophies. We have several customers returning again and again to this partner. They all agree that the atmosphere on this hunt is unique and highly addictive. All hunting areas are placed remote, which makes this destination less suitable for non-hunters, unless they as well are fascinated by the wild life in “the bush”.
Success rates and trophy quality of sought after species such as buffalo, lion, leopard and elephant have been excellent here year after year. You will also find ample opportunity to add a wide range of other exciting species, that are not found in most other African hunting destinations, to your trophy collection.
