Greg BrownleeZAMBIA LION/LEOPARD/BUFF CANCELLATION - $33,000 including charter!
Agent: Jeff C. Neal, Inc.
Outfitter: Mike Heath
Area: Northern Luangwa Valley, Zambia (Musalangu)
Dates available: August 14-31 or September 22 - October 25, 2012. Val Heath just emailed me and said she has a true cancellation for a lion/leopard/buffalo hunt in the Luangwa Valley. The Heath's hold a very high success rate on both Lion and Leopard (90% on both) and the buffalo hunting in this area is outstanding as well. This hunt is generally $50,000 for the daily rate plus roughly $5,500 round trip for the charter.
The $33,000.00 includes 18 hunting days, all government concession fees and licenses, round trip charter from Lusaka to camp and return, daily laundry, airport assistance in Lusaka, 1x1 hunting and camp exclusivity.
Additional fees are trophy fees for animals killed or wounded and lost (listed below), regional tax on trophies, dip and pack ($1500), Observers $300/day, CITES permit for Leopard, shipping of trophies, international airfare or gratuities to guide and camp staff if warranted.
Trophy fees and animals available for this hunt are as follows:
Lion: $6,000
Leopard: $4000
Buffalo: $2200
Eland: $2800
Kudu: $1900
Roan: $5000
Lich. Hartebeest: $900
Crocodile: $2200
Bushbuck: $540
Warthog: $430
Zebar: $1000
Baboon: $90
Common Waterbuck: $1000
This is a VERY good area for cats and a very good price for an 18 day lion/leopard hunt. Please let me know if you have any further questions or would like to see photos.
Regards,
Greg Brownlee

JudgeGNo!
"Zebar" is just that undercoating you put on your car in Hawaii to keep it from rusting. You can get it much cheaper from my cousin, Sammy, in Kaneohe.
Seriously, this is probably the deal of the year!
I would love to take this hunt but have too many choices Lion # 2 Divorce # 1 Lion # 2 Divorce # 1
