CITES PERMITS
African Elephants are listed  both under Appendix I or II of CITES depending in which part of the continent they occur. At times their listing is rather confusing and is concerned more with actual commercial ivory sales (from legal culls) than with hunting trophies.

African Elephant - loxodonta africana - the worlds greatest of beasts

In theory the Elephant started it all, African hunting that is..... those great recounts of Selous, Burton, the Muirs in Nyasaland, even Livingstone, their travels into the vastness of an uncharted continent after the riches of ivory. They still linger in our memories and provoke that excitement we all feel when we think of Africa, toting a double rifle over your shoulder and taking on a beast the size of a London bus.

An Elephant bull with heavy ivory topping 100 pounds is considered by many as the ultimate African trophy and hunters dream of the day they can relive one of Africa's oldest hunting traditions. Despite their size, Elephants are worthy of their status and offer one of the most arduous challenges available today.

10 Day trophy Elephant safari in Zambia
Elephant hunting was resumed in Zambia in 2004 after the country gained CITES approval to export 20 sport hunted trophies per annum. Hunting is restricted to two regions within Zambia, namely the Luangwa Valley and the Lower Zambezi Valley, as well as having only certain hunting areas that get Elephant on quota.

The Luangwa Valley holds Zambia's largest elephant population however bodies are smaller although ivory is long and beautiful. If you take your time you should get something over 50 lbs as last year the neighboring concession took bulls in the 70lbs class.

2008 Elephant Bull Safari - $29,000

12 Day trophy Elephant safari in Botswana

We offer you Botswana's BEST hunting blocks, not only considered the best for the country but also regarded as Africa's top 60 lbs plus producing areas.

All elephant hunts take place in one of the following areas in Botswana and you only need to glance at the record books and recent press to know that you have a realistic chance of an elephant in the high 60's thru 80 lbs class: Concessions are CH1 and CH2 known as the "Chobe Enclave" as well as the renowned community conservation area known as Pandamatenga.

The Chobe Enclave is virtually surrounded by the Chobe National Park, home to Africa's highest concentration of Elephants. Pandamatenga lies along the Zimbabwean border and is a traditional migration route for Elephant between the Chobe National park and Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park.

Without a doubt, this is the best Elephant hunting region in Africa and if you want anything above 60 pounds per tusk, you have to consider this hunt.

2008 Elephant Bull Safari - $55,000

12 days inclusive of trophy fee, dip, pack and crate for elephant, transportation into camp, all government licenses and permit fees, firearm permits for 2 rifles.
