Are there any game animals that are found in RSA only and not in other parts of Africa? I heard there was but checking a few other countries that does not not appear to be the case. Am I correct or did I miss something? Thanks, Jim | ||

I don't think I'm able to give you the full list, but here's a few. Bontebok and vaal rhebok for sure. Blesbok and black wildebeest is indigneous to RSA, as far as I know, even though you can hunt them elsewhere (Namibia). White Rhino can only be hunted in RSA, I think, even though they're found in other countries. Then you have certain subspecies only found in RSA, like Eastern Cape Greater Kudu, Cape Grysbok, Cape Mt. Zebra, Cape Eland (?), and the different colour variety of Sprinbok and Blesbok. I recon you'll get more input in this thread. Anders Hunting and fishing DVDs from Mossing & Stubberud Media: www.jaktogfiskedvd.no ..and my blog at: http://andersmossing.blogspot.com | |||

Is the Cape Mt. Zebra huntable at the moment? Anders Hunting and fishing DVDs from Mossing & Stubberud Media: www.jaktogfiskedvd.no ..and my blog at: http://andersmossing.blogspot.com | |||

Cape Grysbok Black Wildebeest Common Blesbok Bontebok Mountain Reedbuck Cape Kudu Cape Bushbuck Common or Cape Springbok I'm lacking the Mt. Zebra and Vaal Rhebok (which I have hunted for twice) but I'm not aware of a Zebra in the Cape being a Cape Zebra. I shot my first Zebra in Zim and all but one taken by my clients in RSA looked identical to my Zim Zebra. One client took a stallion in the Eastern Cape that looked like ones my Tanzania clients take: no shadow stripes. Very mixed information concerning Zebra.

Nice collection from RSA there.
"Cape mountain zebra" is sometimes used to distinguish animals from the southern subspecies from the northern Hartmann's subspecies. To be honest with you, I would not be able to tell the difference between these two subspecies if they were standing next to each other. Plains zebra may or may not have the shadow stripes, this seems to vary according to area. Immediate way to differentiate mountain zebra from plains zebra; mountain zebra have a white belly. The stripes of plains zebra extend down across the belly. | |||

Yes, definitely. On private land. TOPS & CITES permits are required. | |||

I would also say the Hartman's Zebra has a brown hue to the strips on the lower face, not black. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

The tsessebe is common in Zimbabwe and a lot cheaper there too. | |||

Now you tell me. Yes there are sometimes big differences in prices of animals in different countries, and animal populations vary in different areas of countries. I hunted in the Metetse area of Zimbabwe in 2005, and have hunted on 12 different properties in South Africa on 3 different trips. I did not see any Tsessebe in Zimbabwe, and Tsessebe were only available on one of those South African properties. NRA Endowment Life Member | |||
