At least 115 elephants have died at Hwange National Park this year due to the shortage of food and water.
Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) spokesperson Mr Tinashe Farawo told The Herald that water reservoirs were drying up.
He said at Hwange National Park, 105 elephants died between September and October.
Since the beginning of this month, 10 elephant deaths have been recorded at the same park, but the number could be higher.
He said Hwange National Park has the biggest population of elephants in the country.
“Ideally, Hwange National Park should have a maximum of about 5 000 elephants. However, we have more than 50 000 elephants in the park now. They are competing with other animals for scarce resources. Most of our wild animals are in region 5 which does not receive much rains.
“We are currently sinking boreholes as deep as 400 metres to try to get to the water table and this is costly and we are battling to cope,” said Mr Farawo.
