The Forest Elephant, a distinct subspecies, is notably smaller than its Savannah counterpart. Characterized by straighter, downward-pointing tusks and rounded ears, they've adapted to life within the dense African rainforests.
The elusive Forest Elephant predominantly roams the dense, tropical rainforests of Central and West Africa, particularly in nations like Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Cameroon.
Forest Elephants are more solitary than Savannah Elephants and are known for their secretive nature. Navigating dense forests, they often use established paths and clearings, and are very reliant on their acute sense of hearing.
While a bolt-action rifle with a caliber suitable for large game remains crucial, it's also wise for serious hunters to carry a machete or a similar tool for navigating dense undergrowth. Waterproof gear is often recommended due to the wet rainforest environment.
Certainly. The Central African forests offer a plethora of other unique game, like the Forest Buffalo and the Bongo. With Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters, serious hunters can have a comprehensive hunting experience.
We pride ourselves on ethical, responsible, and sustainable hunting practices. Our experienced guides are well-versed with the forest terrains and animal behaviors, ensuring not just a successful but also a respectful hunt for serious hunters.
Stealth and patience are key. Tracking is often done on foot, following the animal's trails and listening for sounds. Due to the dense environment, encounters can be sudden and close, making preparedness vital.

We believe that each hunt is more than just a price tag - it's a personalized journey for every hunter while we cannot list specific prices like the impersonal hunting directories out there you may have seen, we want to emphasize that we hand-pick outfitters known for their impeccable service, expert knowledge, and fair pricing. We understand that a hunt is an investment and we are committed to ensuring our clients get the best possible return - in experience, satisfaction, and the thrill of the hunt.
