    Hunting in Zambia | Big Game & Plains Game Safaris

    Remote Concessions, Trophy Bulls & Full Safari Support for U.S. Hunters

    Why Hunting in Zambia Is a Standout Safari

    Zambia is often described as one of Africa’s last true frontiers. Its concessions are vast, wild, and lightly hunted, making it a destination where trophies grow large and hunts feel authentic.
    From the floodplains of the Luangwa to the rugged Kafue region, Zambia offers an ideal mix of dangerous game, plains game, and river-based hunts for crocodile and hippo.

    For U.S. sportsmen, Zambia is both adventure and legacy. These are not “easy” safaris, they require patience, stamina, and a love for untamed landscapes.
    At Game Hunting Safaris, we ensure the logistics are seamless, from permits to travel coordination, so you can focus entirely on the pursuit.

    The Hunting Experience in Zambia

    Hunts here are immersive. Expect days of tracking buffalo through tall grass or glassing kudu on rocky ridges.
    The terrain varies between floodplains, mopane forests, and river valleys. For dangerous game, close encounters are the norm, with buffalo often taken inside 70 yards.
    Plains game safaris are equally rewarding, with opportunities at sable, roan, and eland; some of Africa’s most iconic trophies.
    Trophies from Zambia stand out for their size and character, particularly buffalo and sable. Many hunters describe Zambia as “old Africa” — raw, challenging, and unforgettable.

    Prime Hunting Areas in Zambia

    • Luangwa Valley – Famous for Cape buffalo, leopard, and plains game diversity.

    • Kafue National Park Concessions – Renowned for massive sable antelope and roan.

    • Lower Zambezi – Buffalo, elephant, and aquatic hunts for hippo and crocodile.

    • Bangweulu & Northern Marshes – Excellent for sitatunga and other wetland species.

    Why Hunters Choose Zambia Safaris

    • Large-bodied trophies, particularly buffalo and sable.

    • Remote concessions with low hunting pressure.

    • Combination safaris across plains, dangerous, and aquatic game.
    • Hunts that contribute directly to conservation and community projects.
