Hunting the Blue Wildebeest

One of the species available to take down at the Bushmen Safaris wildlife conservancy in South Africa is the
Blue Wildebeest. The Blue Wildebeest is a large, bearded antelope native to the acacia savanna and short grass plains that is often referred to as the “poor man’s” buffalo. Blue Wildebeests wear dark stripes on the throat and on the sides. They live all over in the open savannah of southern Africa. They are social creatures and live in groups of 20 to 40 animals, sometimes in larger herds, the members of which are usually cows and calves, led by a bull. And there are herds consisting exclusively of bachelor bulls.

The Bushmen Safaris hunting properties will allow hunters to discover a country and wildlife that are among the most beautiful and richest that Africa has to offer. A majority of the safari hunting in South Africa takes place on enclosed private land. The amount of game on private land is estimated to be two and a half times greater than the game populations found on public lands. Besides the Blue Wildebeest, the species taken on these private lands such as Bushmen Safaris include the impala, warthog, greater kudu, blesbok, gemsbok, zebra, black wildebeest, southern bushbuck, common waterbuck and springbok.
