Zimbabwe has an Elephant population estimated at 100,000 animals, with a threshold at 50,000, mostly in Hwange and the Zambezi Valley. Hunting of Elephants is allowed. Lions and Leopards are hunted exclusively with bait and can be found in almost all areas. Zimbabwean Leopards are well known for their size. It is worth mentioning that among the cats, Cheetah hunting is also permitted. There are also large herds of Buffalo in Zimbabwe and so this country offers the possibility to hunt four of the renowned “Big Five”... In Zimbabwe hunting is done on foot but due to the vast distances of the hunting areas, it is often necessary to travel by vehicle. The hunting areas are not remarkably rugged and the actual hunting is not physically rigorous. The Hunting season is from January 1st to December 31st (all year round). Due to rains, most hunting is conducted between April and October, with the cooler month of June, July and August being the most popular months for hunting safaris.
