| General Information |
Prohunt Zambia Ltd was founded by Richard and Barry
Bell-Cross who secured the hunting rights to the extensive
Kasempa Lunga Luswishi Game Management Area (GMA).
Between them they have put together an experienced and
respected management team to ensure a superior safari
experience for their clients. Prohunt offers not only
excellent hunting opportunities but more importantly
provides old fashioned hospitality together with an
outstanding support service customized to realize your
wildest dreams.
 Kasempa
Lunga Luswishi is one of Zambia's largest
hunting concessions and covers a staggering
6,000 sq miles of pristine wilderness.
Two great river systems, the Kafue
and Lunga adjoin the area and provide
ideal habitats for a wide variety of animal
species. The GMA consists mainly of open
grassy areas called dambos which are interspersed
with woodland and thickets and is widely
considered in hunting circles to be an excellent
general bag area.
The area is famous for huge dark maned Lions and
the was taken there in 2004.
 Sought
after species such as Roan, outstanding
Sable and world class Defassa
Waterbuck roam the woodland areas. In
addition, Litchenstein's Hartebeest,
Eland, Zebra, Puku,
Reedbuck, Oribi, Impala
and Warthog are abundant throughout
the vast grassy plains and dambo systems.
It is not uncommon to be able to view hundreds
of animals each day.  The
rivers harbor scattered populations of Hippo
and some monster Crocodiles and the
riverside thickets provide a safe refuge
for Chobe Bushbuck, Bushpig
and Kudu. Buffalo, although
not common can be found in the more isolated
expanses of the concession. Buffalo hunting
here is certainly only for the more adventurous
who are willing to hunt hard and overnight
in remote spike camps.
Lunga Luswishi is one of the few areas in
Zambia where one can hunt the elusive and
much sought after Zambezi Sitatunga
without having to do a side trip to the
Bangweulu Swamps. They occur in good numbers
with exceptional quality in several different
swamps around the concession. They can be
hunted from the main hunting camp or otherwise
from temporary spike camps in some of the
more remote swamps.
 Kafue Flats and Bangweulu Swamps are areas of striking
beauty and provide unrivalled hunting opportunities for
the Kafue and Black Lechwe respectively.
Herds of Lechwe well in excess of 1,000 frequent the
grassy plains and the total population of both species is
believed to number over 40,000. Is there a world record
out there? |

| Camps |
| Hunting is conducted
from mufupanda hunting camp
which is situated on the Kafue River.
This is a permanent site with self contained
permanent chalets that are constructed
of wood with adjoining stone bathrooms.
There is hot and cold running water, solar
lighting and an electrical outlet for
charging video cameras, etc. The chalets
are spacious inside and have a verandah
overlooking the river. There is a large
dinning area with comfortable chairs and
a fireplace for the colder evenings. This
is where breakfast and dinner are served
and a sundowner can be sipped at the wooden
bar. Lunch is saved on the deck over the
river.
Meals are cooked by our first
class chef Alex who has been
with Prohunt for the last ten years. Menus
are selected to suit the clients likes.
We try I vary the diet to include freshly
caught fish, game birds and of course
the meat from the animals hunted.
Depending on the species you are hunting,
you may have to overnight in a remote
spike camp. This is an experience in itself.
You will sleep under the stars or in a
tent and although often referred to as
roughing it, we do take enough supplies
for it to be comfortable. A toilet and
shower are constructed on site and the
cool sets up the kitchen. You feel very
close to nature in this environment.

Travel |
| There are many ways to fly
to Zambia and getting help from a good travel
agent is advisable. Upon arrival in
Lusaka you will be met by one of Prohunt's
representatives in the arrivals hall of
the airport where you will then be helped
through customs with all the necessary gun
permits, etc. The drive into camp is only
about 5 hours on good roads. If
need be we can arrange for overnight accommodation
in one of several good hotels in Lusaka.
