Don’t be fooled by the size and humorous look of the warthog. The animals are quick and some skill will be required to shoot them. We offer warthog hunting as part of our game hunt safaris in South Africa. Because you will see them almost anywhere in Southern Africa, you will not go on warthog hunting safaris, but rather shoot them as part of one of the other game hunt safaris that we offer. Any .22 calibre will suffice. They are normally to be found near waterholes, rivers and in woodlands. It is easy to spot the difference between the male and the female as the male has two warts on the face whilst the female only has one. Although not worth going on warthog hunting safaris, you will appreciate the opportunity to shoot one as part of the game hunt safaris offered by WTA.

The springbok is to be found throughout Southern Africa and is mainly a plains animal that can survive in drier areas. It is fast and you will thus need a long shot rifle and will require skill to shoot 300 yards or more. It is rather difficult to get close to the animals. As such you will enjoy the excitement that goes with springbok hunting. If all else fails, you can try to wait them in by lying low and surprising the animals. Their curiosity will count in your favour. Springbok hunting takes a lot of patience and you will require a bit of physical endurance to keep up with their movements. Any calibre in the range of .270 or 30.06 will do the trick. Since you will most probably have to aim from a distance, the best shot will be one aimed at the brown stripe that runs across the body.
