Best month for Zimbabwe
      #879 - 13/01/03 09:49 PM

Thanks for the invite. For my first post here I'll ask a question. Which month, and why, is the best to hunt Zimbabwe, near Lake Kariba. Primary game is buffalo, lion, leopard, and tuskless elephant.

I would go with July/August. Any later, and it gets very hot. Also, the best trophies get taken early, and the animals are a lot more skittish.

I don't know anout which is the best month as I have always been there at the same time of the year - September/October - which isn't the best month(s) by any means.

Kariba in October would be hot and increasingly muggy to my recollection. I remember still enjoying it though. October and even November there can be good late season specials.

Looks like you have a great hunt planned.
