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.
Botswana Elephant hunts are currently your best bet for an African Elephant bull topping the 60 pound plus mark - the country has incredible elephant numbers and offers hunting in great wilderness areas that harken back to the early days - in Botswana very little has changed when it comes to elephant hunting and you will not be disappointed.
