Where to hunt Klipspringer
Directly translated from the Afrikaans language, this small antelope’s name means “Rock Jumper”. With its goat-like hooves, the Klipspringer is found on rocky outcrops and hilly terrain with sparse vegetation, from Eastern Africa down to South Africa and along the dry arid areas of Western Namibia into Angola. They can be hunted in the highlands of Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia. Although found in Mozambique, they are classified as protected game and may not be hunted in that country.

When to hunt Klipspringer?
Klipspringer may be hunted all year round in Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Namibia the hunting season opens on 1 February and closes on 30 November. The Zambian hunting season runs from the beginning of May to the end of November. In Tanzania the season is from July to December. The best months for hunting Klipspringer are the cooler winter months of June to September when these animals are more prone to sunning themselves in the early morning sun often silhouetting themselves against the skyline. During the heat of the day they often hunker down in the shade amongst the rocks making themselves difficult to see.
