MARK H. YOUNGLUANGWA 2X1 SPECIALS FOR '16
The Du Plooys/Muchinga Adventures have the fabulous Chifunda GMA on the Luangwa river in Zambia and are also marketing their old area the adjacent Chanjusi GMA. The below specials are available in Chanjusi for '16. If each hunter has all the government permits which are included in the price they can split the bag making for some very attractive pricing for hunters that can go this year with a buddy or a family member. This is one of the best places in Africa for leopard and I would expect a hunter to take a good Tom quite easily plus buff, hippo, croc and the rest.

bwanamrmWow! That 7 day hunt for buff, hippo and croc is a smoking deal... I need to retire so I can take advantage of these hunts!

MARK H. YOUNGRussel,
You are correct! It would be perfect for a guy wanting buff/PG and a buddy wanting hippo/croc. Trophy fees for the 3 main animals are very reasonable making the dip/pack and transportation costs a wash. This is the only place I would recommend all 3 species plus PG on so short a hunt. Anyone would have to see the Luangwa in late season to believe the concentrations of animals along the river. If I were to do this hunt I'd add 3 days to relax a little but you'll get it done in 7.
