Does anyone know who has the Lunga Luswishi concession in Zambia. Looking at Sable and Sitatunga? Thank you!

It may be one of the concessions that hasn’t been opened up for hunting after the last tender. @spike.t may be able to answer this question.

Hunting is occurring there. It’s current lease ends in 2027.

Well there ya go. Who has the lease currently?

Richard Bell-Cross held Lunga Luswishi for a long time and produced excellent results. However, I was told about a year ago that Paul Tudor Jones had purchased Lunga Luswishi from Richard, to add it to his holding, Mushingashi, which sits directly across the river, just upstream from Richard’s camp.

It a wonderful area with great Sitatunga and Sable, but my understanding is no commercial safaris are run there now; only hunts by PTJ and his friends. I hunted Sitatunga there with Richard in 2018, it’s a wonderful place.
