Choma is 3 hours drive south of Lusaka on the road to Livingstone. Although Choma is a small town situated in the middle of many farms this is in fact where polocrosse was first experimented with in Zambia.

Gwembe Safari Lodge: 03 220169.

Livingstone Tournament
Livingstone lies on the Victoria Falls - one of the 7 wonders of the world - and wildlife roams freely around lodges on the Zambezi River.
It is a 5 hour drive south of Lusaka and two hours past Choma.
The Club house is on the private property of Doug Evans (whose son Murray was chosen to ride in Australia) and lies behind his riverside lodge, Chundukwa.
Our poor towny horses get pretty nervous when the elephants wander around their open stables at night!
For those not wishing to camp, Chundukwa has stilted chalets over the river. Call Doug on 03 324452 or Sun International
Call 03 321122

Zim - Zam - Choma
Let's get our cup back!!!
Zim - Zam 2004 played in Zambia and won by Zambia.
Zim - Zam 2005 played in Zim and won by Zim.
Again, if you do not wish to camp, call Kozo or Gwembi Safaris.
Players must note that they are required to attend practice in Choma the weekend before 19th - 20th August so you had better arrange your accomodation for this too!
Choma is going to be busy this year! |
