Areas:
Chanjuzi / Nyaminnga GMA
Traditionally renowned for its consistently large full manned lion, Chanjuzi GMA also boasts huge leopard and big full-bossed buffalo. Located in the Luangwa Valley and bordering three national parks – North Luangwa National Park, Lukusuzi National Park and Luambe National Park – Chanjuzi is 2555 square kilometers of prime hunting grounds encompassing mopane woodlands, sweeping hills and superb Luangwa River frontage. Hunters fly from Lusaka to Mfuwe on a commercial flight with a two-hour drive to camp or may charter into the hunting concession with a ten-minute drive to camp. The classical safari has a minimum booking of 14 days for leopard and 18 days for lion, where the client predominately hunts lion, leopard, buffalo and a variety of other species from antelope to hippo and zebra. Both cats may be taken on 21-day hunts. Buffalo hunts have a minimum booking of 7 days, and up to six other species may be hunted (except Roan and Sable which are restricted to classical safaris).
Tondwa GMA
Located in Northern Zambia near Lake Tanganyika, Tondwa GMA is 443 square kilometers of beautiful wetlands, with surrounding volcanic hills providing an African landscape that is hard to beat. With a largely diverse number of species found in this richly populated concession it boasts of huge roan, sitatunga, blue duiker, puku, lichenstein hartebeest, hippo, sable, warthog, reedbuck and bushbuck to name a few. Lion, leopard and buffalo are also found in the area and will require a certain degree of hard hunting and determination. Tondwa is one of Zambia’s remotest hunting areas and requires a chartered flight, a drive of 20 hours or when available a commercial flight to Kasaba Bay with a two-hour drive to the hunting area.
Munyamadzi Reserve
Munyamadzi is a private 35,000 acre unfenced reserve on the banks of the Luangwa river where we offer a very personalized safari experience for cats, roan and the indigenous species of the Luangwa valley. Leopard and roan are excellent at Munyamadzi along with very good waterbuck, kudu, hippo, crocodile plus several other desirable species such as Lichenstein’s hartebeest, puku and klipspringer. Lion are on a very limited quota but should be of excellent quality as the PH will be very selective in what they recommend the hunter shoots. Buffalo are not found in big herds here but should come in the course of the safari. Additional add-ons can be arranged for other unique species such as Kafue and black lechwe. Munyamadzi not only offers excellent hunting but a safari here can be less expensive in total than the norm in Zambia. An economical road transfer is completely practical from Lusaka and can save thousands when compared to the usual expensive charters. The transfer is a scenic 6 hour ride on good roads. There also are no government Concession fees charged since Munyamadzi is private land. The reserve is remote and completely uninhabited with the exception of the hunting camp. Hunters will have exclusive use of the camp and the complete reserve for the duration of their safaris. The permanent camp is beautifully appointed right on the river. Lodging is in private brick rondavels with en suite bath. Cuisine will be excellent and incorporate game meat and local food as well as western fare.
Game Hunting in Zambia
The Republic of Zambia secured independence from Great Britain in 1964. Today it is a nation of eight million people with a land mass in excess of 750,000 square kilometers — roughly the size of France, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary combined. Zambia remains one of the finest, if not the best, hunting grounds in Central Africa and plays host to a wide variety of tourist attractions, including professional hunting. The nation boasts unspoiled natural beauty, a profusion of wildlife and one of the world’s greatest natural wonders: the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls. The Falls are situated along the mighty Zambezi River (1700 meter wide) where it suddenly plunges headlong into a 110 meter deep sheer-sided chasm. At the height of flooding (March-April) the flow exceeds more than 1000 cubic meters per second and creates an impressive sight, generating atmospheric spray and vapor over the Falls that can be seen up to 50 kilometers away. The spray and sound give rise to the local name of “Mosi-oa-Tunya” — “The Smoke That Thunders”.
Zambia is unrivalled in its wildlife variety. It is home to more than 700 species of birds and over 100 species of mammals including Lion, Leopard, Elephant and Buffalo. There are 24 varieties of antelope recorded, from the tiny Blue Duiker to the huge Eland. Several of the Zambian mammal species cannot be found elsewhere in Africa. There are 18 individual National Parks covering an area of 60,000 square kilometers and Game Management Areas in excess of 140,000 square kilometers, the latter providing hunting concession areas. Hunting is strictly controlled by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and is undertaken in varied locations throughout Zambia according to the species of animal sought and the government-allocated quotas. Most hunting concessions cover areas in excess of 4,000 square kilometers and are largely adjacent to National Parks. This provides increased opportunities for exceptional trophies and unique photography. You will find a wide variety of terrain within the hunting concessions: thick-wooded forests, open woodlands with rolling hills, ridges and valleys interspersed with open grasslands and lush dambos. We have year round anti-poaching teams in order for us to continue a strict management program for the areas to ensure great trophy quality and long term hunting. We do a lot of community development programs with the villages in and around our areas to ensure that they also prosper from tourist hunting.
