I am looking to hunt leopard, sable, buffalo, croc and plains game in Zambia. I found the Bili Bili GMA through Neal & Brownlee. I am also looking at the Nkala/Namwala GMAs.
Has anyone hunted in these areas or have any advice?

Go on Facebook and bring up "GM Safaris Zambia"

I can give you the name and email address of every person who's been to the area since it opened last year. None of them are AR members, but there are several guys who have hunted there in the past 2 seasons, myself included. I'll give my honest opinion of the area and the clients will as well. We've hunted 5 leopard and 2 lions in the area since it opened. I personally did not shoot a leopard (and am the only one who has been unsuccessful), but I passed a very good cat that I likely should have shot while chasing a gigantic tom for 12 days. We had the smaller of the two mature cats on bait from day 3 to 15 in the daylight. My client who came in after me shot the leopard I passed early in his hunt. It measured 7'5".

I'm out of the country until next week but Trey Sperring should be able to send some references your way in the meantime.

Thanks!

Greg

Not hunted there myself but Greg Michelson is a hell of a PH and great guy in my humble opinion Sir.

Greg Michelson = First Class

Nkala is a small Hunting Block but loaded with PG and up to 1200+ Buffalo early in the Season. Excellent Leopard. Super Luxury Tented Camp 5*+

The Namwala Block has a very nice Camp and Hosts along the most Scenic Place of the Kafue River. Big Concession, Big Lion, Big Leopard and Sable and a few Buffalo

Hope this help

If Greg Brownlee says it good, I believe you can take it to the bank. His reputation depends on it.

Greg Michelson is an excellent person and a better ph
