South Africa offers the opportunity to hunt
anything from birds to elephant. It is the only country where
you can still hunt all the "Big Five", i.e. elephant,
rhino (white), buffalo, lion and leopard. It offers some of the
continent's finest hunting for a wide variety of other species,
in trophy quality and quantity of game. Animals that offer
exceptionally good hunting opportunities include Greater Kudu,
Blue Wildebeest, Nyala, Cape Eland, Southern Impala, Common
Waterbuck, Kalahari Springbok, Klipspringer, etc. It is home to
twenty-nine antelope species, more than any other country in
Africa. And of these, twenty-six species are huntable and seven
found only in South Africa. South Africa is the only place that
offers the "Mini Five" - five small antelope from the
following group: Grey Duiker, Red Duiker, Blue Duiker, Suni,
Oribi, and Cape Grysbok.
