Bowhunting in Zambia
The beginning of 1993 bowhunting became legal for the first
time in this country. The National Parks & Wildlife Department has indicated
that they will issue bow licenses to all qualified
applicants. Unfortunately the safari industry has suffered some setbacks due
to the government intervention in the last few years. Zambia was closed to
sport hunting in 2001 awaiting the reallocation of hunting areas and
reopened again in 2004.
There is a lack of operators in this country that have any experience with
bowhunting so extra caution is advised when booking a hunt in this Zambia.
This country has some specialized species such as Puku and Sitatunga to
offer in addition to the main menu of animals. Zambia, however, may be the
best place in Africa for bowhunters to harvest the big cats ( lion and
leopard)
