Lion Trophy Hunting Safaris 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 unspoilt 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 Zambia Wildlife Authority 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.
