PH Comment - Len

Maitengwe is an area in the West of Zimbabwe. It boarders the Southern Boundary of Hwange National Park. A phenomenal elephant hunting area. September – October seem to be great months for hunting, and really the land of big elephants.

Client Comment

I have heard that Maitengwe was a great elephant hunting area. It has lived up to all that and more. I have seen 80 bulls in one day and no less that 50 bulls on all other days. The medium weight of the bulls seen were in the 50lbs range. These bulls come in from Botswana, so you see different bulls each day. I shot a bull of a lifetime estimated at 80lbs. I hunted with PH Len Taylor, you can do no better elephant hunting than with Len. Len is professional, highly educated on elephants and most willing to educate his clients. Accommodation’s were fantastic, food top notch. Great staff.
