Elephant bull special 2014‏

 

M A H E N Y E
Mahenye is the original CAMPFIRE area in Zimbabwe and the community have been involved in the hunting industry for more than 30 years. The Save River forms its western and southern boundary of which 25km is a shared boundary with Gonarezhou National Park.
There are estimated to be more than 6000 elephant in the Gonarezhou National Park which is 5,500km2 in size. The elephant population has produced some extremely large tuskers in the recent past including  Dhulamithi (‘taller than trees’) and Kambakwe, both well over 100lb.

The Park is also part of the Gazaland Transfrontier Park which includes Kruger National Park in South Africa and Limpopo National Park in Mozambique. This creates a contiguous wildlife area of over 40,000km2 and is one of the biggest conservation projects in Africa.
The Mahenye concession provides an opportunity to hunt from this large elephant population and for elephant hunters to try for an exceptional trophy bull. The concession is also good for hippo and crocodile with a huge 14.5ft croc being taken in 2008. There is good but limited plains game with the best trophies including a 63” Kudu and 16” bushbuck, both taken in 2009.
