INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL

The main airport is located in Lusaka (Kenneth Kaunda International Airport). Emirates and Qatar Airways offer daily international flights to Lusaka. There are also several other international flight options to get you to Lusaka. Generally, you will spend one night in Lusaka and then either catch a commercial flight to Mfuwe or have a private charter take you to an airstrip near your hunting area. If you fly commercially to Mfuwe, the drive to your camp will range between 45 mins and 4 hours depending on which area you will be hunting.
