About hunting in Zambia
Wild rivers, miombo woodlands, and vast floodplains - Zambia offers free-range wilderness, a wide variety of species, and classic big-game opportunities amid some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes.
Zambia on map
Zambia lies in south-central Africa, bordering eight nations including Tanzania to the northeast, Mozambique to the east, and Namibia and Angola to the west. The northeastern Luangwa Valley cuts deep into the country from the border region, while the western expanse reaches into the Kafue basin. Far northern Zambia contains the Bangweulu floodplains and swamps, a very different ecosystem from the miombo and river country farther south. These diverse habitats underpin the country’s diverse hunting potential.

beautiful area, high number of animals, especially elephants, leopards, buffaloes, hippos and crocodiles. Camp and new equipment, new cars, wifi service, excellent cuisine. Excellent anti poaching service. Wild area without human settlements. I really appreciated the effort that the outfitter is making especially against poaching and to improve the area, new roads, water holes and salt marshes. Professionalism of PH.

Although it is remote the main camp is extremely well kept and comfortable. The food is outstanding and many wonderful Italian and local dishes were prepared. The open (no fence) hunting is very exciting and you never know what you might see that day. It could be elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, hyena, roan, kudu, warthog, hippo, croc, puku, impala, zebra, hartebeest...etc. The fair-chase hunting ensures a great and satisfying stalk whether you are successful or not. The trophy quality and final preparation with the in-camp taxidermist is quite exceptional. Follow-up after the hunt with regards to your trophies is best I have very experienced.
The only downside is that you have to eventually leave.

Crocodile go into water
Worshipped, dangerous and feared, this prehistoric monster has inhabited the planet for more than 150 million years. The Nile crocodile, a gigantic lizard shaped reptile, needs little introduction and regularly receives airtime on numerous wildlife TV channels. Their colour is often determined by the clarity or stained water within which they reside.

Cookson's Wildebeest
Cookson’s Wildebeest is found in just one region of the planet, the Luangwa Valley in Zambia. It is a subspecies of the Blue, or Common, Wildebeest, the animal you’ve all seen on TV and in illustrated magazines, doing the breathtaking annual migration in uncountable herds. Cookson’s Wildebeest is said to be bigger and lighter colored than other subspecies of Gnu. Hunting opportunities for this subspecies exist only in Zambia.
