Sable hunting in Botswana

The Sable Antelope in Botswana is known for its striking black coat and long, curved horns. Males are particularly notable for their dark colouration, while females and juveniles tend to be more reddish-brown. Five subspecies of Sable occur in Africa of which only one is found in Botswana. The subspecies hunted in Botswana is known as the Southern Sable. The best place to hunt sable in Botswana is in the privately owned game ranches and designated wildlife management areas within the Okavango Delta and the northern regions of the country. These areas offer ideal habitats and are well-regulated to ensure sustainable hunting practices. Sable is classified as a species of least concern by the IUCN and no special permits are required to hunt a Sable other than a Botswana hunting license.
