Best tasting African game

namibiahunterBest tasting African game
I'll be back in Namibia in March '08 and already my mouth is watering for barbequed kudu or oryx dipped and cooked in oil (Bushman fondue). What other favorites do all have?
I am not particularly fond of crocodile or ostrich - especially the way it is served at Joe's.

JrileyThe zebra steak at Joe's Beerhouse is unbelievable!
17 August 2007, 02:57
drwesEland filet or kudu filet,,, this time in a year I should be smelling the wood and hear the meat sizzle as I down a sundowner! I have heard the hippo is tremendous,,, just hasn't been on my trophy list yet and thus not fresh in camp..
you can make more money, you can not make more time

robncoloradoHippo hands down. Last trip to Zambia, I stuffed myself with it until I was sick...damn it was good!
17 August 2007, 19:21
Jorge400I had kudu or eland in some form just about everyday on my last hunt and it was all good. Mtn. zebra is good as well, but my favorite has got to be gemsbuck fillet.

When we eat beef it's usually a grilled tenderloin at home or fillet in restaurants. My 11 yr old daughter loved the eland fillet we had in Namibia last year. She mentioned several times how good it was. And I was quite impressed with the chicken-fried ostrich we had there also.
Not game meat but I stayed at Afton Guest House last week and they took us to the steak restaurant (can't remember the name) and the beef fillet there was very good.

N E 450 No2Having shot a Gorilla, and other primates, I do not eat them.
My favorite is guinea foul on the Brie.
Second is wildebest, then giraffe.
Cape Buff Balls, sliced thin, floured and fried make a great appetiser, fried buff stomach is good too [at least I think that is what it was].

StonecreekNo mention of springbok? My impression is that it is considered the very best (and commands the highest price in commercial channels) of all of the antelope in southern Africa.
Everything I had was good, but as Yogi Berra might say, "Oryx and Gemsbok taste a lot alike to me."

zimbabweI'm with you for Guinea pie. Nothing better or really even close.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

scruffyI just had a zebra steak at Joe's beerhouse about two or three days ago !!! As usual it was delicious .. (although a bit chewy this time
) .... I would normally think that my favourite of all is gemsbok schnitzel ...

I enjoyed fresh Gemsbok liver(Southern Namibia 2004) grilled on a wood fire - very good and would have been enough for the meal.

kayakerIf you get opportunity, try giraffe, its very good.
I have had giraffe biltong a few times and potjie with giraffe twice, very lekker.
Most game I have found to be good. The only really gamey meat I have had was from a Nyala - but it was gut-shot and ran a while- could have had an effect.
Red duiker was a bit strong, but was also fresh (didn't hang), perhaps the reason?
The one and only Reedbuck I have shot I remember being bloody good, as is warthog and bushpig(bushpig burgers with avo slices...).
Springbok liver, wrapped in bacon, braaied and then have it with The Mrs. HaS BAllS hot chutney...good.
I had lion biltong once- it was old and dry and tasted like old dry too salty biltong, so can't really comment!

30 August 2007, 08:14
jetdrvrLichtenstein's Hartebeest is by far the best I've had in Africa, and that includes sampling the fare several times at the Carnivore in Nairobi as well as in camp.

wapiti7I can say, without hesitation, that the inner-loin from a zebra is the finest meat I've ever eaten. Too bad we can't get a good horse steak in New Mexico!........wapiti7

Die Ou JagterImpala liver and onions with eggs for breakfast. Dinner chicken fried or snitzel Leopard.
05 September 2007, 02:58
GerryI've gotta second the Impala Liver and Scrambled Eggs w/ or w/o onions as the all-round best BREAKFAST treat ever made on a stove - period, in RSA you get Pap (Grits) with it too.....a touch of Tabasco is mandatory.....
For the EVENING meal a meduim-rare Zebra Fillet with a South African Dry Red Wine is the only way to fly, followed by the same in Eland & Springbok.
Cheers,
