Tsessebe may be hunted year round In South Africa and Zimbabwe. In Namibia, hunting is closed in January and February. The Zambian hunting season runs from the beginning of May to the end of November. Autumn is the best time to hunt Tsessebe when food is scarce and the natural waterholes start to dry up.

Hunting methods

Spot and stalk is usually the best way to hunt a Tsessebe. Generally found in relatively open areas and near water in the late afternoon. Quiet often spotted from the truck which can be parked away out of sight and then a planned approach can be made to stalk these animals. If you are bowhunting, your best bet is to hunt from a blind overlooking water. The use of mineral blocks and salt licks will also attract the animals to such a site.

Tsessebe herd

Tsessebe are found in pockets throughout Western and Southern. These rare species are closely related to the Topi and Bontebok.

Why hunt Tsessebe?

Tsessebe belong to the Wildebeest and Hartebeest families which are normally hunted by collectors of these bigger sized species. Although not a highly sought after trophy it is popular with collectors. The most common way to mount a Tsessebe is a shoulder mount which makes it very difficult to identify from other closely related species, especially Topi. Therefore, you may be tempted to skull mount your trophy and rather display the skin which make for a rather beautiful rug.
