Re: Who has hunted in Zambia?

I was there in 2000 and am going again this year. Hunted the north lugwana for lion etc. Had a bad outfitter who wouldn't get my ammo, 375, scope etc. to the camp because it arrived a day late, so ended up hunting everything with a 470 & 1 box of ammo. Best PH I ever have had however. Steewart Findlay Cooper, but i don't think he's in it anymore. anyway the area was beautiful with lots of animals and birdlife. of course the camera a film was in the baggage not delivered to. Shot a 30" hippo just for lion bait. This year we're going with john duploy for sititaunga & lewche. You don't say where in the country you're headed for, but travel can be expensive, either in the terms of air charter fees or days of travel by car. I've always taken the car travel whereever i can, because I get to see the country. Anyway, there are lots of tetse flies there, be prepared. The rivers have big crocs in them if you want one. Depending on time of year the bush can be really heavy or not. They do a bunch of burning in zam to get rid of the old dead grass, so you'll probably see a bunch of fires, they burn all day and go out an night. I believe you'll have the time of your life.
