Which side of the escarpment? I have hunted the Chewore side, but in September. Lots of mountains, physically demanding, beautiful scenery. We hunted along the Mana Pools border for quite a few days. It is cold up on the mountains, so bring some clothes to keep warm. Cold on top in Sptember but 95*+ on the valley floor.

While I had time to hunt in September and October, and knew going in that that wasn't prime time, I had a great hunt. I was told that June was prime time in that area. I was also told that there was a chance of an incredible elephant, especially in the early season, that might be lured to the fields by the rippening crops.

BTW, the largest elephant we saw would have gone five + feet of ivory, but it was white and thin and he was too young. That bull in ten years would be phenominal.
