Chirisa Safari Area

Elephant Hunting
Similar to the buffalo, Chirisa has a stable, non migratory, elephant population and elephant are encountered on a daily basis. Every year a couple of bulls in excess of 60 pounds a side are taken, with the average size bull being in the region of 40 - 45 pounds a side. If a client is willing to work hard enough and he hunts the right time of year he can realistically expect to shoot an elephant over 50 pounds. The best time of year to hunt elephant in Chirisa is either early (March, April, May) or late (October/November/December).
