Ghonarezhue and he Save Conservancy have reputations for very aggresive elephants.

The Zambezi Vallet too, for the tuskless.

My experience is that Zambezi Valley elephants aren't generally agressive, though some cows can be. Chewore is in the Zambezi Valley. I have elephant hunted twice in Chewore South and had only a couple of run ins.

I have not hunted near Gonarezhou but the elephant in the Save are really agressive and nasty. The photo series I posted about a charge was in the Save. The elephants in the Save are from the same gene pool as Gonarezhou. Some think the agressiveness is from poaching during the bush war.I'm not sold on that idea. Too many agressive elephants for a direct connection. Maybe the first generation elephants became agressive because of the poaching, but later generations learned it?

I have hunted elephants in Chete and found them more or less the same as Chewore. And I've hunted the Omay and found them similar too.

Yuo need to be on your toes in the thick riverine bush in the Save.
