Luawata Conservation is a privately funded hunting company that operates in the Luangwa Valley of Zambia. The company is committed to providing an exclusive safari service to clients and to improving the quality of the trophy. Only limited hunting is allowed at Luawata and less than half the set quota is utilised each season. Nevertheless, the company purchases the full quota at the beginning of each season and willingly carries the cost of those animals not hunted.

In addition, a large portion of the revenue generated by the safari operation is returned to the indigenous population, thus insuring maximum benefit to the local community.

The Luangwa Valley is known as one of the great game areas of Africa and Luawata lies in the very heart of prime hunting country. The camp nestles under huge shade trees on the banks of the Luangwa River, and offers comfortable accommodation in thatched bungalows with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold showers and flush toilets. The camp uses solar power for lighting and a generator is used to charge batteries. Ice is plentiful and the camp cuisine is of a high standard with a fine selection of wines and other drinks.

All the equipment at Luawata is of the best quality and maintained to the highest standards. The hunting cars are Toyota Landcruisers. The camp lies 400 miles northeast of Lusaka, and the charter flight to the camp airstrip normally takes 2 hours, depending on the type of aircraft used.
