Springbok hunting in Namibia

Springbuck are the only true gazelle found in Southern Africa. This beautiful, small antelope is most impressive during a pronking display. This peculiar behavioural display entails the animal bouncing on all fours, leaping high in the air revealing a crest of white fur from their arched backs. The Kalahari Springbuck is a revered specimen of this species found throughout the dry, semi-arid grasslands of the country, including the Kalahari Desert from whence it gained its name. Their horn length and thickness is staggeringly more impressive than the Common Springbuck making it an iconic Namibian trophy animal. Once a migratory species causing dust clouds seen for miles. Today, the best Springbuck trophy hunting is found in the north-western regions of the country, as well as the south and south-eastern regions. Irrespective of its trophy size, Springbuck remains the most commonly sought after meat hunted species in the country. Classified as a species of least concern by the IUCN, no special hunting permits are required besides the standard Namibian hunting license which will be arranged by your outfitter.
