ZIMBABWE ELEPHANT

 
 

Elephant Hunting in Zimbabwe

This area lies in south eastern Zimbabwe.

A famous area in terms of its conservation history, the Save Valley Conservancy formally a large network of cattle ranches and now one of Africa's premier wildlife areas.

Good Numbers of plains and dangerous game roam freely within the 350,000 hectare area, a true success for the conservation of hunting, our area of about 10 000 ha lies along the Msias River which acts as the lifeblood of the area throughout the year. 

 

THE HUNTING

With a large area to cover, this concession is best hunted on foot, hunters will start out by moving to likely areas where the guides believe the intended species will be, from here playing to the wind the hunters will slowly move in an effort to find something to put a stalk on, for this to go well everything has to be right so patience is key.

In the midday heat lone bulls of various species if spotted can be approached successfully if the wind plays ball - slow periods can be spent in treestands/ambush positions where game movement is likely (this will not be done over an artificial food source or artificial water point)
