Wendell ReichZambia Lion & Leopard & 2 Buff $30,300 no charter!
Zambia Luangwa Valley Lion Leopard Buffalo hunt
14-Day Leopard & Buffalo was $28,900
now $21,90018-day Lion & Buffalo was $48,900
now $27,30021-day Lion, Leopard and Buffalo was $57,000
now $30,300The 21-day hunt I feel is the best value. The Leopard here are great, success is excelent and you get 3 extra days to hunt, which should up your odds for Lion.
This is with Fico Vidale Safaris, their block lies right next to Johnny du Plooy in the Luangwa.
Dates are now through mid November.
This is a great area of the Luangwa valley, this cost includes all government fees and licenses, dip and pack and flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe and return. No need for a charter here! This is an "all in" price except for trophy fees and tips.
Observers are welcome at $300/day.

jeff hI was hunting with Alister Norton PH while in Zamiba 3 weeks ago. He said they were cutting the lion quota in Zambia by half next year.
supply demand rules may apply next year for Zambia.
Damn glad I got mine already, Screaming deal!

safari-lawyerMark Young was trying to sell two late season lions for Fico in very late October of last year. Anyone know the outcome of those hunts? If they sold, if they were successful, etc?
Wendell: Any idea who the PH would be? Just how late in November could one hunt?

Wendell ReichWill,
Mid-November is about as late as you can practically go. It is going to be hot at this time of year!
I like the 21-day option best, it gives you more time to hunt Lion. Plus, the Leopard hunting here is unbelievable. With the option for a second Buffalo, and a Leopard, this is an extremely good deal.
Fico said he was available to do this hunt.

GarBy.....and Fico is a pleasant sort of gent. Met him while hunting with Johnny last year. Looks like a great deal to be had here guys....too bad it ain't me.
