The Giant Oryx or Gemsbok as he is more commonly called is a magnificent animal. He inhabits the open country and can survive in the harshest of conditions. A native of the Kalahari, he can go without surface water for months taking moisture from what he eats. A gregarious herd animal, he is primarily a grazer but will occasionally browse if necessary.
Extremely aggressive and very dangerous when injured, cornered, or threatened, both sexes carry very long spear-like horns. Hunting Gemsbok requires a good pair of boots, as you are apt to cover a lot of country, and the animal is always alert with excellent eyesight, hearing, and smell, so your approach will have to be carefully planned. This is one of the tough antelope that will provide a wonderful trophy and his meat is one the most delicious to be found on the African continent.
More than 80% of Bushmen Safaris hunters each year are repeat hunters. Bushmen Safaris' excellent management, competitive pricing, and world-class selection of animals like the Gemsbock bring back hunters year after year. More information available at www.bushmensafaris.com.
