Klipspringer Hunting in Zimbabwe

The klipspringer is a small antelope that lives on rocky hills and outcrops, balancing on the tips of its hooves. Hunting one means climbing and glassing among the rocks, a very different hunt from the bush below.

The hunt

How We Hunt Klipspringer

Rocks and Koppies

We glass rocky koppies and hillsides from below, then climb carefully for a shot. Klipspringer usually stand still on a high rock, watching, before bounding away.

Judging a Ram

Only rams carry horns: short, straight spikes. Your PH will look for good length and thick bases.

Details

Calibre, Season and Area

For small antelope, use solids or a light calibre to limit damage to the skin. Ask your PH what to bring.
