When one considers a great specialty game species to target on a hunting safari, then hyena hunting in South Africa must be top of that list! Hyena hunting makes a great add-on to nocturnal hunts, such as leopard hunting. There are three types of hyenas in South Africa, namely the spotted and brown hyena, as well as the aardwolf. The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is the largest of the three and is found both inland and along the coastal regions of Southern Africa. The brown hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) is the rarest of the three species. The third hyena that is found in South Africa is the aardwolf (Proteles cristata). Hyenas enjoy habitats of semi-arid scrub, the open African plains as well as dry savannas, making South Africa the perfect environment for these nocturnal predators. In terms of hyena hunting locations in South Africa, prime spots for the spotted hyena include the Greater Kruger National Park, as well as the Limpopo province, which is renowned worldwide as a prime location for hyena hunting in South Africa.
