John & Laura du Plooy have been running Muchinga Adventures for 32 years, offering the very best of Zambia for those passionate about wildlife, hunting and adventure. John has been a full time Zambian professional hunter since 1989, having guided in most of the Zambian Game Management areas. John is the highest awarded Professional Hunter by the Professional Hunting Association of Zambia.
As an honorary wildlife police officer John is highly committed to the welfare and conservation of the Zambian wildlife. Together with ZAWA he created a successful programme in 2003 that allowed illegal firearms to be handed in for a financial reward with an offer of employment in community development. This programme continues to make a positive difference in the rural regions where he is based.
