Hunting Methods when Hunting Plains Game in South Africa

The Kudu

This large African plains game antelope is a sought-after target when hunting in South Africa. Often referred to as “Africa’s gray ghost,” the Kudu is renowned for its excellent camouflage skills and keen senses. Kudus tend to be more active in the early morning and late afternoon, so your hunting safari must be timed accordingly. Keep a look out for tracks around pans and water holes as kudus drink often and will never be far from water. In terms of shot placement on this large antelope, avoid head and neck shots if you are in search of the perfect trophy. Rather concentrate on a heart or lung shot.

The Kudu is one of the most sought-after African plains game trophy animals and any thirty-caliber rifle will suffice.

The Cape Eland

The Cape eland is the world’s largest antelope, making it a prime target for game hunting enthusiasts. It remains the pinnacle of African plains game hunting and a definite pick on many hunters’ bucket lists when hunting in South Africa.  The magnificent Cape eland is often targeted through a walk-and-stalk approach or hunted from a blind.

The Burchells’ Zebra

This large African plains game species with its vivid black and white stripes is renowned for its excellent eyesight, so hunters must exercise lots of patience and perseverance to target this special trophy. Zebras are usually hunted with the walk-and-stalk method.

The Nyala

The nyala is a beautiful spiral-horned medium-sized antelope that is hunted using the walk-and-stalk method, as well as being targeted from a blind.  When hunting this African plains game trophy, a .270 or any of the 30 calibers are an excellent choice to anchor your chosen trophy.

The Gemsbok

The Gemsbok, with its majestic horns and beautiful coat, makes it the perfect addition to any trophy room. This large antelope is a sought-after trophy and is usually targeted through the walk-and-stalk method and found in open savannah areas.

The Impala

This is an antelope with very keen senses that makes it a challenge to stalk without detection. The walk-and-stalk method is the most common, with the best time to target this African plains game species being in the early morning or late afternoon when they are most active.

The Springbok

Springbok hunting in South Africa is completed using the walk-and-stalk technique, or they can often be hunted from a blind.  This can be challenging, as the Springbok is adept at camouflaging itself from predators and potential danger, ensuring a challenging safari for the hunter.

When is the best time for Game Hunting in South Africa?

When hunting in South Africa, a popular location for African plains game hunts is the North West province that offers game choice habitats of flat areas, scattered trees, and grassland, the perfect topography for plains game species.

Game hunting in South Africa is more popular during the cooler months, from April through to October, but it does take place throughout the year. The drier months see the grasses being shorter in the veld, and the bushveld not as dense, both of which allows hunters to more easily spot their prey.

Traveling to the Hunting Grounds

International travelers will arrive at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport in Gauteng and met by their hosts for their African hunting adventure. The road transfer to the hunting lodge in the North West province will take approximately 2.5 hours.
