Zimbabwe

The land of the elephants

Elephant hunting in the African destination par excellence: Zimbabwe, the land of elephants.

However, all areas are excellent for big game hunting, for lions and leopards and for all antelopes in breathtaking settings.

Hunting is organized in different locations: along the Zambesi, in the most beautiful concessions in the country including: Bubye and Save Conservancies, Matetsi, Hurungwe and Shangani.

The climate is subequatorial with two seasons, one dry and cold from April to October and the other rainy among November and March. The temperature varies according to the altitude range, then there are very low thermal excursions in the upper and middle Veld, while there is an intensification in the difference between winter and summer temperature in the lower Veld; annual rainfall is on an average of 700 mm.

The services are of high quality as well as the accommodations which can be luxurious tented camps or wooden lodges.

During the elephant hunt in the Zambezi valley, it is not uncommon to see 60 pounders animals.

Two years ago a German hunter, during a big game safari, conquered an incredible trophy: the magnificent male elephant of about 50 years with a record trophy with fangs that weighed more than 100 pounds.

The tusks of the elephant are necessary for multiple purposes. They are used in digging to find water, salt and roots; felling trees. When the elephant fights, they are used as deer antlers.

Like humans, elephants are right-handed or left-handed. The dominant tusk, called the main tusk, is generally more consumed, and it is shorter with a more rounded tip.

African elephants tusks are present in both sexes: massive and longer in the bulls and thin and shorter in cows. Once, the tusks of some large elephant bulls weighed over 200 pounds (more than 90 kilograms), but today it is unfortunately very rare 100 pounds (45 kilograms) bearer.

Recommended weapon

For all destinations, the calibers from 7 mm, to the various 30 (preferably magnum) or the European 8X68 are suitable even for the Eland (the largest African antelope).

For the cats, 300 and 375HH with soft bullets are the best. For the pachyderms from 375HH and up. Excellent calibers are all the 416 with solid bullets and as well, the 470 and 500 Nitro.

Dear Marina, I and my Cypriot friends have returned from Scotland. All VERY WELL. The expectations were excellent, but I would say that we went much further. We were all very happy, both for the organization, for the location (beautiful, with an excellent cuisine), and for hunting. Beautiful animals, a rational withdrawal and four hunting days surrounded by a splendid nature. Mr. Greame's assistance was very welcome. Basically, a very good high level hunting experience. Thank you also on behalf of my friends. It seemed only right to inform you. Best wishes, Simon

Indelible memories will surely remain in the memory of the Scottish countryside populated by grazing animals and by so many Colombacci. The first day of hunting was very exciting. The memory of the first Colombaccio coming on the "game" is still alive in my mind. The last day is inevitably started with the thought that unfortunately the beautiful adventure has now come to an end. But as often happens .... the best things come to an end ... I was surrounded by a marvelous panorama, immersed in an expanse of freshly cut rapeseed with only the North Sea on the horizon! From mid-day to the time of return it was all a succession of Colombacci who "cared for the game". A dream come true! All this has been possible thanks to your accurate organization, example of professionalism and dedication to this passion.

Good evening Mara, "The experience on the Glen Clova Grouse, with our dogs, was perhaps the most satisfying of the various hunting experiences around the world, among which I can include Lapland, Uruguay, Bulgaria and others. has combined the difficulty of hunting in rustic wild, suspicious, hardened to the pitfalls, even more than their Lapp cousins, with the relaxation and class offered by a truly first-class location.The Scottish people know how to manage the fauna and the territories, here the animalsare more than a few, but they will never exterminated them by a reckless withdrawal. Fortunately, because I'll be back here for sure. "

"Also this year I was very satisfied with the hunting and the Montefeltro organization. After 54 years of hunting and hunting experience around the world, Romania remains one of my favorite places for my hunting days"

Dear Mrs. Mara,

I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the excellent organization of the recent wood pigeon hunting, including the lucky combination with people who turned out to be excellent hunting companions and with whom I was able to establish a sincere friendship.

Not least was the already known professionalism of Ian who did all he could to make our hunting days as fruitful as possible even if the wood pigeons migration had almost come to an end. The only not so positive note was the hospitality of the hotel which attempted accommodation on our arrival in a common room but thanks to Ian's intervention he managed to solve the problem. Waiting to know the outcome of the next trip, I thank you again and send my best regards.

Montefeltro is without a doubt the most professional tour operator available for hunting enthusiasts. Competence and availability certainly make it an absolute advisable reference for those who intend to undertake a hunting adventure across the border, without any surprise. My personal experience in Scotland for red deer hind hunting has certainly been exciting.

Leonardo

My first Safari !! A dream that, thanks to my friend Luca, Elena and all the Montefeltro staff, has become a reality. Wonderful experience hunting the antelopes in Namibia that with breathtaking landscapes, with the beauty and elegance of the animals, with the excellent service at the camp and with the kindness and sympathy of the people I met there I will always carry it in my heart as one of the most beautiful hunting memory!

Stephen

Dear Mara,

as anticipated by telephone I express my satisfaction for the entire organization of the trip, starting from your efficient assistance and great courtesy both before the trip and during the days in Crimea. On site I found as much professionalism and human warmth.

"I would call my hunting experiences with Montefeltro splendid. All the staff, from the back office preliminary phase to the assistance on the hunting site, manifests competence and humanity."

I take this opportunity to send to all of you best greetings.

Another fantastic hunting experience organized by Montefeltro’sfriends has just ended.

This time in Bulgaria, in the splendid setting of the Rhodope Mountains, in search of the “King of the wood”.

Beautiful hunting house located on the shore of a lake, excellent traditional cuisine, super welcome and assistance.

Magnificent capercaillie trophy taken, already the first morning, after a long and exciting approach. What can I say… thanks Montefeltro!

Stefano

The trip to the Isle of Bute was good. Woodcocks more than enough. Logistics, services, food and accommodation I would say perfect. The weather also helped us ... in fact it never rained in 4 days. Thanks to Montefeltro who made this hunting experience possible!
