This once-in-a-lifetime adventure is offered at a great price so don’t miss out!

About the Elephant:

Earth’s largest land animal is the African elephant, which can weigh up to 14,000 pounds and males can grow taller than 10 feet high at the shoulder. Their impressive tusks can reach lengths over 10 feet long. They also sport giant ears which are used for temperature regulation and long trunks that they use for a myriad of tasks including food retrieval, water consumption, and communication with other elephants in their herd. They almost exclusively eat grasses, leaves, and bark and can consume up to 300 pounds of vegetation per day. You can expect to harvest a bull under 30 pounds. 

The Hunting Area and Terrain:

This concession spans over 250,000 acres outside of Victoria Falls. The area varies between thick bush to open countryside with rolling hills. There is a year-round water source with one of the large rivers that cuts through the concession as well as many other smaller streams that flow through the area. On many ridges in the concession, there are patches of thick forest. This outfitter has been hunting this area for 7 years and currently holds exclusive rights to hunt this concession.

Hunting Seasons:

This hunt is available during  March and April. These two months ensure that you’ll be coming at just the right time to harvest a bull.

A Typical Day Hunting Elephants:

You’ll first wake up and enjoy a light breakfast with your PH before heading out on a truck to search for fresh tracks. You’ll drive internal roads inside the concession and boundary roads to check for new tracks entering the hunting area. Villagers inside the concession also are watchful and let your PH know if they’ve seen recent signs of elephant activity. Once new tracks are found, the real hunting begins. You’ll get out and start tracking your elephant on foot. You should be prepared to walk the majority of the day, as on average you can track 2-3 different bulls per day all on foot. Once hunting is done for the day, you’ll head back to camp for a meal and to rest before the next day’s hunt. This hunt has seen 100% success in the past as well, showing just how many bulls traverse this concession. 

Once you successfully track and down your bull, you can continue hunting off the price list below or visit local attractions such as the National Park or Victoria Falls.
