Impala:
Hunting impala is on the agenda for just about every hunter who sets foot on the ‘dark continent’. The rooibok (red buck), as he is known in Afrikaans, is the bread and butter antelope of Southern Africa. He is commonly used for camp meat, bait for leopard, and just to ‘cut the teeth’ of the new African hunter. This graceful, medium-sized antelope is a sociable herd animal that frequents open woodlands, the bushveld, and the mopane scrub. Both a browser and a grazer, he will never venture far from water, as he must drink daily. The lyre-shaped horns are only carried by the rams, but the herd’s propensity to bunch together in the dense brush can make it easy to make a mistake.
Hunting impala is best accomplished in the autumn rut when the best rams are usually found within the breeding herds. Be aware of the rooibok’s keen sense of hearing and smell, not to mention his superb eyesight which all account for the need to make cautious and calculated stalks if you intend to “close the deal” on this quarry. A couple more tips regarding hunting impala: he is most active during the cooler times of the day (early morning and later in the afternoon). Consider an ambush near known feeding areas. Exercise great caution when hunting impala, as when alarmed, they will herd tightly together, making it easy to shoot more than one with a single shot.
Warthog:
The warthog is a rather common member of the wild pig clan. A distant cousin of the European boar, he is a popular trophy with many safari clients. He favors open ground, grasslands, water holes and pans, and will often be seen in the open woodlands. He especially likes to graze on the newly sprouted grass of a burned out area. The name comes from the wart-like protrusions on his face; two on the female and four on the male. Tusks vary in size, but can become very long on the female and often curve high over the snout. The constant meshing of the upper and lower tusks against each other keep them razor sharp, making the warthog a dangerous adversary.They live most often in deserted antbear dens which they dig out with their hoofs and clear out with their shovel-like snouts. Piglets enter the den head first while the adults back into the burrow. Not dependent on water, the warthog will drink if it is available. Wallowing in the mud is his favorite pastime. The goal for hunting warthog ranges from the trophy tusks and hide to delicious meat and bait for hunting the leopard. One of the toughest of African game, the adult can weigh in at over 250 pounds. This unique member of the swine family is almost an exclusive grazer; not at all territorial, he wanders wherever he pleases. Found in small family groups called “sounders”, mother and piglets stay together for some time (up to 3 years); the boar joins the group for mating.
Duiker:
When hunting duiker, trophy evaluation can be difficult, as most often only fleeting glances will be offered – Be ready to shoot when he stops to face you and your PH gives the OK. Horn tips level with the top of the ears are about 4 inches in length and considered a good representative. If the horns extend beyond the ear tips by an inch or more, you are looking at a fairly high scoring trophy. Hunting Duiker can be extremely difficult – He has extremely refined senses, is small in size and a habit of staying in or close to the long grass and thick brush, making it almost impossible to spot him from a distance and make a successful stalk. Most duikers are taken while hunting other game, should the opportunity present it self. However we have great concessions for hunting duiker and chances are good of bagging a nice trophy animal.
Springbuck:
The springbok is probably the only true gazelle found in the sub-region of Southern Africa. These beautiful little antelopes inhabit the more western reaches of Southern Africa. Once their numbers were in the millions, however, today they are confined mostly to the game reserves and game ranches. Both the males and females of this unmistakable little gazelle carry horns, the ewe’s horns being somewhat shorter and more slender.
The national animal of South Africa, his name means “jump buck”, an accurate description of his pogo-stick style of jumping when alarmed. This social herd animal is at home on dry, semi-desert, open grasslands, including the Kalahari. He is both a grazer and a browser and not dependent on water, although he will drink daily if water is available. When hunting springbok, trophy evaluation can be very difficult; as mentioned, both rams and ewes carry horns, and herds can be very large and thus hard to approach with all those eyes and ears trained on the hunter. Because of his phenomenal eyesight and his natural paranoia with regard to being approached, if you try to walk and stalk this little antelope, be prepared to do some crawling while hunting springbok. Try setting up ambushes on the approaches to feeding areas and pans, or even physical barriers such as fences.
If you can approach in open terrain within 250 meters, you are doing well and best take your shot. The flat-shooters will be the ticket when hunting springbok. Look to calibers that will propel a 120-grain expanding bullet in excess of 2600 fps.

Blue wildebeest
Hunting blue wildebeest, or the brindled gnu, as he is also known, can be most exciting. This large, bearded antelope, native to the acacia savanna and short grass plains is often referred to as the ‘poor man’s’ buffalo. His numbers have dwindled somewhat in many of his old habitats, but he is as plentiful as ever on the Serengeti ecosystem where his numbers may well exceed one million. The game ranches of southern Africa maintain managed populations of this ‘beest’, which offer wonderful opportunities for hunting blue wildebeest. As both sexes carry horns and are of similar body size and color, sorting out the bulls from the cows can sometimes be difficult. Look for heavier muscled individuals with thicker horn bases and more droop.
Older bulls will usually appear darker in color with wider stripes. Mature bulls can weigh as much as 600 pounds. On the open plains, the wildebeest is easy to locate from a distance, however, hunting blue wildebeest in the bushveld is quite another story. In the bush, he can be elusive and shy; a good technique is to walk slowly into a suspected resting area into or across the wind glassing well ahead for movement. This is one tough antelope; hunting blue wildebeest with less than .270 caliber and a good 150-grain bullet is not recommended. In open country, the flat shooting .300 magnums with 200 or 220-grain bullets are an excellent choice. Hunting blue wildebeest in bushveld conditions may well call for even larger calibers and heavier bullets. The prominent hump on the shoulder and the mane may often lead to a body shot placed too high.
When hunting blue wildebeest, always try to position yourself for the side-on shot; draw up the back edge of the front leg and place the shot about four inches (a hand’s width) above the point of the elbow. This ‘high heart’ shot will take heart and lungs; the animal will rock to the shot and probably go down within 50 yards. If your shot placement is not quite on the mark, be very cautious in a follow-up. This critter can be extremely dangerous when wounded. Approach a downed wildebeest from the ‘off’ side with great care, as they have been known to get up and charge.
Zebra:
The Burchell’s zebra is distinguished from the other zebra species by several pattern features. First and foremost are the shadow stripes, which occur within the broad white stripes found on the hindquarters; he lacks the grid-iron pattern and the dewlap, which is typical on the other species. Sex determination can be very difficult; males will generally be slightly larger and have more developed necks, but more than one professional hunter has shot a stallion that instantly became a mare once downed. Glass carefully when hunting zebra; if alerted, the stallion will most often trail the herd as they withdraw – this may be your best and only indication.
The Burchell’s favors the open woodlands and grassy savanna; he avoids the thick bushveld and the desert if possible. Always found where water is abundant, he drinks regularly and cannot take advantage of even the most lush grazing if water is not available. The zebra forms small herds, usually 8 to 10 in number, consisting of a stallion, several mares and their foals. Surplus males are ejected from the herd and form bachelor herds.
Their main enemy is the lion and they will actively defend the herd, kicking violently and ganging up on the attacker. When hunting zebra, sex is often not specified on the permits, as sex determination is difficult. As already mentioned, in flight, the herd will be led away by one of the mares, with the stallion as rear guard; he will often stop and look back – there is your shot. When approaching water, the stallion will most often be in the lead, and when grazing, he will usually stay on the outskirts of the herd. These habits may be useful when hunting zebra. Good glassing may be essential in trophy assessment. If it is the flat skin you are after, be advised that the old stallions will most likely be battle-scarred and worn. Look for a younger male or a mare if a nice clear hide is what you seek. Hunting zebra is best in the early morning or late afternoon. Regular drinkers, set up an ambush on trails leading to water holes or pans.
Springbuck:
The springbok is probably the only true gazelle found in the sub-region of Southern Africa. These beautiful little antelopes inhabit the more western reaches of Southern Africa. Once their numbers were in the millions, however, today they are confined mostly to the game reserves and game ranches.

Kudu:
Hunting kudu remains on the top of the list for just about every hunter who comes to Africa. He is probably second only to the impala as Africa’s most sought-after plains game trophy. The kudu is a big antelope with a stately bearing. He is strikingly beautiful, with long spiral horns that set him apart from all other of the antelope species. The ‘grey ghost’, as he has been nicknamed, sports a coat of pale-grey to brownish-grey with white vertical stripes down the flank. He has a distinctive white chevron marking between his eyes, which set off the very long spiral horns carried only by the bulls. Kudu cows look very similar to the males and, while they lack horns, their ears are quite prominent and beautiful. Both sexes display white beneath the tail and have a conspicuous hump on the shoulder. Hunting kudu is best accomplished in the bushveld, where leaves, fresh sprouts, seedpods, and fresh grass are abundant.
The kudu tends to browse in the early morning and late afternoon, usually resting during the heat of the day. Like many of the antelope species, this majestic giant tends to form family groups of 6 to 12 individuals; mostly cows and calves, with the bulls only joining the herd during mating season. The bulls form bachelor herds or become solitary. This is a graceful animal in flight and extremely athletic; he can jump remarkably high for his size. In spite of those long horns, the bulls can travel at great speeds through the bush by laying their horns low along their backs. Hunting kudu can be extremely challenging, as the ‘ghost’ is very sly and extremely elusive with exceptional senses. Look for spoor around pans and water holes as he drinks regularly and will never be far from water. Because the depth of the curl of individual bulls’ horns can vary so much, trophy assessment can be difficult.
Blue wildebeest
Hunting blue wildebeest, or the brindled gnu, as he is also known, can be most exciting. This large, bearded antelope, native to the acacia savanna and short grass plains is often referred to as the ‘poor man’s’ buffalo.

If your shot placement is not quite on the mark, be very cautious in a follow-up. This critter can be extremely dangerous when wounded.

Cape Buffalo
Found all over southern Africa in herds of various sizes, the buffalo can weigh up to 1800 pounds. He is primarily a grazer but an occasional browser who must drink every day. They favor the thick bushveld during the day, leisurely moving and grazing as they go. At night they tend to herd up to protect the young from their archenemy, the lion. Both sexes carry horns, however, the horns of a bull can be quite spectacular in spread, with a deep curl and a solid boss covering the forehead. Cows lack the boss, but can have a very wide spread; in fact, the world record buffalo on file in the Roland Ward record book is a cow with a spread of some 62 inches.
With a well-placed shot, a rifle of .375 caliber is minimum recommended. However, a shot from the various 40 calibers provides a more immediate and noticeable effect. Even with a well-placed first shot, once the Cape buffalo is wounded and its adrenalin is flowing, he can be EXTREMELY hard to bring down. It has been said that if your first shot on “Inyati”, as the Zulu people call him, is a bad one, the next 14 will only serve to further annoy him… Remember, when it comes to shot placement and your selection of rifles and bullets, always trust the judgement of your Professional Hunter.
Zebra
The Burchell’s zebra is distinguished from the other zebra species by several pattern features. First and foremost are the shadow stripes, which occur within the broad white stripes found on the hindquarters. They also lacks the grid-iron pattern and the dewlap, which is typical on the other species. The zebra forms small herds, usually 8 to 10 in number, consisting of a stallion, several mares and their foals. Surplus males are ejected from the herd and form bachelor herds.
When hunting zebra, sex is often not specified on the permits, as sex determination is very difficult. However males will generally be slightly larger and have broader necks. Many professional hunter has shot a stallion that instantly became a mare once downed.
Zebra favors the open woodlands and grassy savanna. They avoid the thick bushveld and if alerted, the stallion will most often trail the herd as they flee. He will often stop and look back, which could turn out as a good chance for you. When approaching water, the stallion will most often be in the lead, and when grazing, he will usually stay on the outskirts of the herd. Zebra is always found where water is abundant, drinks regularly and cannot take advantage of grazing if water is not available. Their main enemy is the lion and they will actively defend the herd, kicking violently and ganging up on any attackers.
Hunting Zebra is always exiting – Their supreme senses makes every hunt very challenging and shot placement is absolutely vital on these animals! Next to the Buffalo and Blue Wildebeest, they are one of the toughest animals you will find in Africa!
