a wildlife guide to the kudu

The kudu is one of the most spectacular must-see animals for African wildlife lovers. It has been described as one of the most handsome of the antelope family, due to the male’s unique large, corkscrew horns.

The name found its way into the English language courtesy of the Afrikaans of South Africa . The Afrikaans term ‘koedoe’ is a combination of both of zebra and deer. 

There are two species of kudu from the family bovidae; the lesser kudu ( Tragelaphus imberbis ) and the greater kudu ( Tragelaphus strepsiceros ). Unlike the lesser kudu the greater kudu has three subspecies; T.s.strepsiceros , T.s.chora , and T.s.cottoni , which w e explore in more detail below.

Kudu characteristics

Kudus are a species of African antelopes majestic in their looks, with their twisted horns making them quite distinct from other antelopes. Horns are the main trademark of the kudu. While female kudus have short horns, male kudus have horns of up to 1.8 meters, the longest of any antelope, which take an average of six years to reach their full length.

Of the two kudu species, the greater kudu has a larger body size. With a height range of between 1.3 and 1.5 meters, the greater kudu males stand as the tallest antelope after the eland . On weight, males tips the scales at a minimum of 257 kgs and 315 kgs. T he females are smaller and shorter, with an average height and weight of 1.2 meters and 170 kgs respectively.

Skin coloration ranges from reddish-brown to blue-gray, interspersed with white markings. Other markings include the distinct 6-10 vertical white stripes on the rib side, nose chevrons, and white forelegs for the greater kudus. 

Lesser kudus are lighter in weight and have a shorter stature, at 92-108kgs and 100cms respectively. While the females will spot a bright rufous coat the males have a darker slate gray skin. Unlike greater kudu, they have shorter horns more white stripes (11-15) on its rib side and black and white leg colorations.

Range & habitat

Greater kudus are found in Eastern and Southern Africa. They are widely distributed in Southern Africa, especially in the bushveld lowlands. Other regions include East African regions of Kenya such as in the Tsavo National Park, Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park , and the horn Africa region of Ethiopia and Somalia.

Outside of Africa’s national parks , kudus have receded to mountainous woodlands due to human activities in their preferred lowlands. However, it is not rare to find them in close proximity to human settlement areas, due to their stealth and nocturnal adaptations.

They live in herds of approximately 25 antelopes but it is also possible to find herds of two to three females with their calves. While their natural habitat has faced threat from human activities the world conservation body the IUCN highlights the greater kudu as “least concern” with their population considered stable. The lesser kudu is highlighted as “near threatened” with their populations in decline. ( See more on Africa’s endangered animals .)

Kudus are primarily browsers, preferring leaves and shoots from trees and shrubs, and flowers and fallen fruits. Although their stomach structure is made for browsing, during the wet season they occasionally supplement this diet by grazing the lush grasses.

Greater kudus are well adapted to surviving during the dry season by feeding on wild watermelons for water. Unlike the greater kudu, the lesser kudu does not depend so much on the water for their survival and get can get most of their water requirements from the parts of succulent wild fruits, only taking water if available.

Behaviour & lifestyle

Kudus don’t roam over long distances but rather live in home ranges of up to 6 km sq. They are active primarily from dusk until dawn, tending to rest during the daylight hours in woodlands where their camouflage helps them to avoid predators. 

Sexual segregation is prevalent with males and females only meeting during the mating season, which usually coincides with rainy season. Some form of courting behavior precedes mating, after which the pregnant female undergoes a seclusion period before they give birth. 

Newborn kudus are hidden to avoid predation for their first five weeks, during which the mother frequently returns to nurse the calf. After this period the calf will follow the mother, and from six months is old enough to fend for itself. 

By the age of 1,5 years, most male calves start showing signs of gender. At his point, they leave their mother and form small bachelor groups of up to ten males. 

Fun facts about kudus

• While the kudus are not aggressive sparring between males is not uncommon. Occasionally, this may lead to their twisted horns locking, and if they are unable to disentangle the result in death for both animals.
• Either kudu or impala dung is used in the traditional game of dung spitting in South Africa (the contestant spitting dung farthest is the winner!).
• The horns of the kudu twist once every two years, usually twisting just twice before they stop growing. Occasionally, the horns undergo three twists, which would reach around 1.8 meters if stretched out. 
• Kudu horns have been used as musical instruments for years by traditional communities, including as the Shofar – a Jewish ritual horn.

Doe-eyed grace and elegance

Tuesday, 29 August 2023

If cliches are to be believed, then beauty is in the eye of the beholder – a subjective standard upon which there can be no universal agreement. Yet of Africa’s over 70 antelope species, there can be no question that some are more bewitching than others. There are the stately eland and the glamorous sable, the burnished nyala and the beguiling impala. And then there is the kudu, the doe-eyed epitome of grace and elegance, all slender legs and eyes and a magnificent set of horns.

There are no beauty competitions in the wilderness (thank goodness), but if there were, the kudu would unequivocally be a shoo-in for one of the top spots.

All about the kudus (kudos?)

There are two species of kudu – the greater kudu ( Tragelaphus strepsiceros ) and the lesser kudu ( Tragelaphus imberbis ). Though humans could probably have done a better job with the common names (“lesser” is a bit pejorative, is it not?), the monikers accurately capture the size difference between the two. The greater kudu – an icon of the African safari – is substantially taller and heavier than its comparatively petite cousin. Lesser kudu also have a smaller distribution and are found only in East Africa, with a preference for semi-arid habitats. Greater kudu occur more widely across much of the continent, including most of southern and East Africa and just south of the Sahel in Central Africa.

Size aside, the morphological differences between the two species are subtle. The males are similarly equipped with an impressive pair of spiralling horns (more on these below), and sexual dimorphism is pronounced. Both species are decorated with a strip of white on the back, which bleeds into a delicate pattern of stripes running down the flank like dripping paint. White chevrons run from the inside of the eyes, contrasting against the rufous coat. Male greater kudu have a well-developed ridge of hair that runs down the length of the neck like an upside-down mohawk. This feature is absent in the lesser kudu, which instead has a striking set of black and white bands.

Both species are cryptic antelope with a preference for dense vegetation. They are not fast and rely instead on their agility and spectacular jumping prowess to escape potential predators, jinking and jiving through the trees when pursued. Kudu are relatively strict browsers (though greater kudu have been observed grazing) and can survive for long periods without drinking, supplementing their water intake with succulents and fruits.

Quick facts about the kudu

To a greater or lesser extent.

It is no secret that our understanding of antelope phylogeny is not dissimilar to a tangled ball of wool at present – based on physical similarities and occasionally inaccurate assumptions. Scientists are using genetic tools to disentangle the mess and have made considerable strides towards understanding evolutionary relationships. However, a great deal of work is still to be done. Kudu belong to the Tragelaphini – the spiral-horned antelope tribe, which includes nine different species in two genera (for now). Thus, they are related to eland, nyala, bushbuck, sitatunga and the bongo . The closest relatives to this tribe are bovines, such as buffalos, bison, and wild cattle.

The natural assumption would be that the greater and lesser kudu would be more closely related to each other than any other member of the Tragelaphini tribe, but, fascinatingly, this does not seem to be the case. A comprehensive analysis conducted in 2005 of mitochondrial DNA suggested that the lesser kudu is the basal member of the tribe. Even more confusingly, later research on nuclear DNA indicated that lesser kudu and nyala separated from the rest of the Tragelaphini at least 13 million years ago. Either way that means that, bizarrely, the lesser kudu is more closely related to the nyala, and the greater kudu is more closely related to the mountain nyala. The distance between the lesser kudu and the rest of the Tragelaphini tribe has even prompted some scientists to argue that it represents an entirely different genus – the Ammelaphus .

As if the hairs could not be split any finer, next comes the subspecies question. There are currently three commonly accepted subspecies of greater kudu:

• s. strepsiceros – occurs over much of southern Africa
• s. chora – found in northeastern Africa, in northern Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and eastern Sudan
• s. cottoni –  found in scattered populations in Chad and western Sudan

None of these subspecies has yet been recognised on the IUCN Red List . Some biologists have even proposed splitting the greater kudu into four different species (!) based on genetic evidence and morphological differences. But we may have to cross that bridge when it becomes more widely accepted…

Spiralling out

At this juncture, moving swiftly along from the minutiae of kudu taxonomy to some of their more apparent features seems appropriate. Naturally, the impressive spiral horns of the bulls tend to leave a lasting impression on first-time visitors to Africa, making them a delightful spot on any safari. (Check out these safaris where you can spot kudu and more ). In greater kudu, these bony protuberances can achieve two and a half or even three full twists and, if straightened, would reach over a metre in length. Record-breaking specimens have been measured at over 180cm.

The bulls use these horns primarily as an intimidation tactic. Kudu are gregarious and not territorial, but competition may arise over a female in oestrus (receptive to mating). However, actual physical confrontations are rare, and the larger, more dominant bull usually frightens away potential competitors by displaying his full size. Evenly matched contenders may clash horns, sometimes with fatal consequences. Though such reports are sporadic, kudu bulls have been known to tangle their twisting horns so severely that they find themselves locked together and may eventually die of dehydration, a broken neck or predation.

Like the stag of Aesop’s Fables, these magnificent horns have disadvantages, especially for an animal that usually runs through dense vegetation to escape predators. When fleeing, the bulls occasionally stretch their heads forward and tilt the horns flat along their necks, making navigation challenging. (There is a common old guide’s tale that they can roll their eyes back and look back at the pursuing predator through the hollow horn – it should not need to be clarified that this is physically impossible. The horn is solid bone.) It does not, however, seem to hinder them unduly!

The sense and sensibility of the kudu

The enormous satellite-dish ears of the kudu are another notable feature contributing to their other-worldly, innocent beauty. Fairly obviously, these exaggerated auricles are essential in catching and amplifying sound waves, conferring an exceptional sense of hearing. The kudu’s excellent aural faculties and equally acute eyesight make them one of the more reliable sentinels in the bushveld. When a kudu spots a potential predator, it lets loose an astonishingly loud alarm bark that can travel several kilometres on a cold morning. Many a desperate guide following this booming sound has found themselves well rewarded with a leopard or lion sighting courtesy of a vigilant kudu.

Even without the bonus of a big cat, any aesthete should appreciate the opportunity to feast their eyes upon the picture of natural perfection that is the kudu. They are shy animals and not always confiding around vehicles full of loud, gawking onlookers, but most will allow for a brief sighting if approached carefully. Kudu-seekers will generally find greater kudus without difficulty on most popular safari tracks. Lesser kudus can be a bit more tricky, but the arid areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania are an excellent place to start.

Free Range Kudu Hunting with Crusader Safaris

An authentic free range Kudu Hunting experience by Craig – New Jersey, USA

Africa is a diverse continent, the dark continent as it is referred to, is what I dreamt about hunting as a young kid growing up on the US East Coast.

In 2019 this dream became a reality, the goal to hunt Kudu in South Africa, free-range and where they are indigenous. No high fences, big bulls out of real camps in large free-range areas. I was young, in good shape and ready for the challenge of hunting both the Southern Greater Kudu and the Cape Kudu.

Planning my Kudu Hunt

The planning for the safari started in 2018, internet searches, talking to friends who had hunted Africa and finally the SCI convention in Reno, Nevada. For those of you who have undertaken this process, it is a big part of the program. Hundreds of outfitters, all look good and who to choose, where to hunt? It’s tough to make the final decision, but my criteria were important to me, and my research lead me to only one outfit, Crusader Safaris . They met these criteria, had been doing this for years and had big areas, great camps, the trophy quality I was after and most importantly authentic free range hunting areas for both the Southern greater Kudu and the Cape Kudu.

The hunt was set for May, the Kudu rut, beautiful weather and the dark of the moon. We were to fly into Durban’s King Shaka airport, hunt the Umko conservancy, drive the scenic route south to the Baviaansriver conservancy where the Cape Kudu is indigenous and then fly out of Port Elizabeth. These two areas are a combined 800 000 acres of wild free range country, lots of game, lots of species and importantly big Kudu.

The Kudu Hunting experience in the Umko

After four days of hard hunting in the rolling hills of the Umko, we finally got our Southern Greater Kudu, huge body, deep curls, probably ten years old and less important than the quality of the hunt but good to know horn length in the mid-’50s. I was not disappointed, the Umko was all I had dreamt of, big wide open country, lots of game and a challenging hunt. A tremendous free range Nyala was a welcome addition to the Southern Greater Kudu.

From the Umkomaas it was an easy six hours south to the Baviaansriver conservancy in the Eastern Cape province. This vast area has an abundance of Cape Kudu. We had set the standard high and wanted a really old bull, so we spent the first few days looking over some good bulls, but with time on our side, we wanted to be really selective. On day three we got a great old bull, darker but smaller than its cousin the Sothern Greater Kudu. The Cape Kudu is a beautiful animal, and together the two subspecies are a real challenge to hunt especially in a free-range environment where they are indigenous and occur naturally. The hunt in the Baviaansriver was finished off with a few days hunting Bushbuck, and these elusive medium-sized animals reminded me of the Whitetail I grew up hunting at home. Wide awake, solitary and very shy.

In all what a great hunt, I cannot wait to return to hunt some of the other plains game that the two areas offer. For anyone looking for an authentic free range hunting safari for magnificent trophy quality animals where they are indigenous, wild and plentiful contact Andrew from Crusader Safaris.

Kudu Safari

Kudu Safari: Summary

Kudu safari in a nutshell.

On arrival into the small town of Maun, you’ll be met and escorted to a light aircraft on the runway. Fly out over the Okavango Delta, getting a hint of the immense size of this wilderness and a stunning view of its myriad of waterways, islands, woodland and savannah – you may also spot your first herds of wildlife.

Your first stay is at Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp, an elegant, contemporary set up in an exclusive 25,000-hectare concession bordering the Moremi Game Reserve. With breath-taking views across mopane woodlands and seasonally flooded grasslands and shaded by ebony trees, it’s a diverse habitat home to a rich variety of species. With a mixture of land and water-based activities, you can explore on day and night game drives, walking safaris, boating excursions, fishing and mokoro canoe trips on the lookout for lions, hippo, giraffe and elephant.

Another short flight brings you to Sandibe Safari Lodge, an architectural gem designed to resemble a resting pangolin, hidden by palm trees and ancient baobabs deep in the Delta. More of a land-based experience, discover the area on drives and on foot in a portion of the Delta where viewing is exceptional. Buffalo and elephant are permanent residents and while lion and leopard are the dominant predators, cheetah, wild dog and hyena commonly seen.

Both intimate lodges have excellent guiding, service and cuisine with beautiful rooms you may struggle to leave. Combined with the density of wildlife and variety of safari activities, this is a quintessential luxury Okavango Delta experience.

At a glance

Nxabega okavango tented camp.

Nxabega Okavango Tented Camp (formerly known as ‘Nxabega Safari Camp’) is set in an area of mixed woodlands and floodplains situated within a 70km² private concession in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, to the west of Chief's Island. The camp’s pedigree is good, and it aims for a very high standard of food, comfort and care. There’s both dry land and water around, and so it offers game drives as well as mokoro and boating activities.

Sandibe Safari Lodge

Adjacent to Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, the luxurious and uniquely designed Sandibe Okavango Safari Lodge sits among towering stands of palm trees, thick riverine vegetation and several huge old baobabs. It's a lovely mix of forested areas interspersed with floodplains and permanent deep-water channels.

Bow Hunt Kudu in South Africa

Kudu hunting in South Africa has gained immense popularity among bow hunters from around the world. With its breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, a bow hunt in South Africa offers a unique hunting experience like no other. In this article, we will delve into the thrilling world of hunting kudu in South Africa, exploring the techniques, challenges, and rewards associated with this extraordinary adventure.

Understanding the Kudu

Before embarking on a hunting trip, it is essential to understand the species. The kudu, one of Africa’s most majestic antelopes, is renowned for its impressive size, striking spiral horns, and elusive nature. Male kudus, known as bulls, can reach a height of up to 5 feet at the shoulder and weigh around 600 pounds. The impressive horns, which can measure up to 74 inches in length, make the this species a highly sought-after trophy.

Choosing the Right Location in South Africa

South Africa offers a plethora of hunting destinations, each providing a unique hunting experience. When it comes to hunting big kudu , some regions stand out due to their abundant populations, trophy animals and stunning landscapes. Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and the North West Provinces are among the top choices for kudu hunting, offering a combination of open savannahs, dense bushveld, and challenging mountain terrains.

Preparing for the Hunt

Successfully trophy hunting kudu requires thorough preparation, both physically and mentally. Here are some key considerations:

Physical Fitness

Hunting often involves traversing rugged landscapes and enduring long hours of stalking. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain a good level of physical fitness. Engaging in cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and practicing shooting with archery equipment regularly can significantly enhance your chances of success.

Investing in high-quality equipment is vital for a successful kudu hunting safari. Select a compound or crossbow with a minimum of 60 to 70 pounds of draw weight and good accuracy to penetrate the chest cavity and reach the vital organs of the animal. Select carbon fiber arrows that have a finished weight of around 450 grains. Mechanical open on contact broad heads work very well for this tough animal species, but need to be razor sharp. Make sure you have the right equipment .

Apart from your bow and arrows, essential gear includes camouflage clothing, comfortable hunting boots, a hunting backpack, binoculars, and a range finder. 

Sharpening Shooting Skills

Archery hunting requires precision and accuracy. Prior to your hunting trip, it is crucial to spend ample time practicing with your equipment. This involves honing your shooting technique, mastering different shooting positions, and familiarizing yourself with shooting from varying distances. Regular target practice will enhance your muscle memory, ensuring that you are well-prepared for the actual hunt.

Techniques for a Kudu Bow Hunting Safari

Bow hunting demands patience, stealth, and strategic planning. Here are some techniques to maximize your chances of a successful hunt:

Spot and Stalk

Spot and stalk is a popular technique for hunting these animals. It involves glassing the terrain from vantage points, such as mountain tops or elevated platforms, to locate kudu bulls. Once spotted, the hunter must carefully stalk within shooting range, taking advantage of available cover and wind direction to remain undetected. This technique requires a high level of patience, observation skills, and the ability to move silently.

Waterhole Ambush

Another effective technique for kudu hunting is by setting up a ground blind near waterholes. These animals are known to frequent watering spots, especially during the dry season, making it an ideal opportunity for hunters. By patiently waiting near a waterhole, camouflaged and downwind, the hunter can ambush a good bull as it approaches to quench its thirst. This technique requires careful positioning and precise timing.

Legal Considerations and Ethical Hunting

Before embarking on a hunting trip, it is important to familiarize yourself with the local hunting regulations. Your hunting outfitter will obtain the necessary permits and licenses before you arrive. Any person who is not a S.A. national is required to hunt with a Professional hunter, the guide will normally carry a rifle in case of wounded game. Engaging in ethical hunting practices is equally crucial. This includes taking only ethical shots within your effective shooting range, practicing fair chase, and respecting the natural environment. Responsible hunting ensures the sustainability of the population and contributes to conservation efforts.

The price to hunt a Kudu is $ 3 350 and a 7 day hunting package will cost $ 5 800.

Hunting Packages

Almost every outfitter offers a number of packages on their concessions. These all-inclusive deals will normally include a variety of different plains game species like Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest and Warthog. In addition they will include accommodation in a lodge and the services of a guide.

Shot placement on a Kudu Trophy

Knowing the anatomy of the animals you hunt and being able to execute perfect shot placement is a vital skill that all hunters need to master. By placing your shot in the vital triangle you minimize the suffering of the animal and also ensure a quick recovery. This will reduce the chances of having a wounded and lost animal on your hands and wasting valuable time looking for an animal.

Tanzania is the Land of Kilimanjaro, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Only these three famous landmarks evoke in the minds of travellers the very essence of the safari. These wonders are close together in the north and to the south lie the enormous wild reserves of Selous and Ruaha National Park. The island of Zanzibar with its sandy beaches is only 45 minutes flight away. Our safaris depart weekly from Arusha to the parks in the north and from Zanzibar or Dar Es Salaam to Selous and Ruaha reserves in the south.

Climate Tanzania has a tropical climate. In the highlands, temperatures range between 10 and 26 ° C respectively during cold and hot months. Altitude also makes a big difference. The remainder of the country has temperatures rarely falling below 20 ° C. The hottest period is from November to February (25-31 ° C), while the coldest period occurs between May and August (15-20 ° C). Tanzania can be divided into two regions according to precipitation. The first, which characterizes the south, the south-west, and the west-central part of the country, sees the rainy season from December to April. The second, which is located in the north and on the north coast, has two rainy seasons, respectively, from November to December (defined as the short rains or Vuli) and from March to May (defined long rains or Masika). The short rains in the north can almost be non-existent.

Recommended vaccinations Yellow Fever Vaccination is not mandatory if you depart from Europe and do not stay at an endemic country en route. If you are from or have visited an endemic region then a vaccination is required for any older than one Year. However, its still recommended, since the southern Tanzania areas may pose a very slight risk. Must be vaccinated at least 10 days before leaving. The vaccine is effective, harmless and immunity lasts 10 years. Malaria The risk of malaria, especially in the form of Pl. Falciparum (malignant), exists throughout the year and across the country below 1,800 meters. It has been reported that there is a high resistance of Pl. Falciparum to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. Recommended prophylaxis: atovaquone and proguanil (Malarone), provided that there are no contraindications to be considered case by case: The dosage is 1 tablet per day at night (adults). Dosage should commence one week before entering the area at risk, and up to 2 to 4 weeks after returning, without interruption. In addition, it needs to be remembered that wearing long sleeves and slacks with socks and shoes at night and insect repellent on your hands and back of your neck helps a lot. The malarial mosquito in Africa only flies at night around 9.00 pm onwards.

Recommended clothing Wear during your safari neutral colours. Avoid dark colours.

My first African safari was in 1994 with Greater Kuduland Safaris. My father took me and the experience was out of this world. The quality of trophies, abundance of game, accommodations, the exceptional treatment and service from the staff and the Knott family was immeasurable. I can say that because I have yet to speak with another hunter who has had as good of a trip with any other safaris in Africa. My first trip was with a rifle. Since then I have used a bow. I returned to the ranch in 1997. Took my mother in 2004, my wife in 2006, my kids in 2013, and my dad and good friends in 2017. My walls are filled with Kuduland Trophies. 6 trips to Greater Kuduland and I'm ready to go back again. I cannot begin to explain the disappointment I see in people's eyes when they make the mistake of going with the wrong safari and then see what I've experienced with Greater Kuduland. Don't make the same mistake. Feel free to contact me or anyone else who has been here and you will understand what a wonderful operation, quality of trophies, and experience you will have at Greater Kuduland Safaris.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…

I just wanted to write and say hello and thanks for making a great hunting adventure come true for a gunsmith from Oklahoma. Although it has only been a couple of months since our trip to Zimbabwe I’m already chomping at the bit to go back! I am looking forward to planning our next trip and I know it will be just as good or better than the last one. Ever since I set my sights on hunting in Africa, Cape Buffalo was number one on my list and you couldn’t have done a better job at making my hunting experience live up to all my expectations but not only did we meet those expectations you took it a step further when we set out to go Elephant hunting!

There is definitely something about hunting the bush in Africa that gets in your blood, more than just hunting it is an experience not found anywhere else and you and your staff are excellent at bringing that experience to your clients. I think pretty much summed it up on the ride home one evening after a long day of hard hunting and the most prized reward, a magnificent Cape Buffalo, the discussion still centered on buffalo hunting, I got a chuckle out of everyone when I started making plans for the next trip!

Nick Hughes

My son, brother and I hunted with Alex and Kudu Adventures in Botswana this past August (2015).  The hunt was first-rate we saw many animals and had great accommodations. Alex assisted us to complete all necessary paperwork and made this a very easy process.  When we arrived in Johannesburg Alex met us at the airport and guided us through customs with our firearms with ease.

Our first night’s stay was in a first-rate B&B which allowed us to unwind after a long flight.  The next morning we headed for camp, after clearing the border in Botswana it was a short drive to camp.  Even though it was late afternoon Alex said that we should take a drive and then a walk to see if we could find any game before sunset.  We hadn’t been away from camp for ten minutes before I had my first animal on the ground a very nice Red Hartebeest!  This was the beginning of a great week-long hunt.

Alex and his staff do a fantastic job, I hunted personally with Alex and it was a pleasure to see someone this passionate about his work and his clients.  My son and brother both hunted with their own P&H’s and they seemed to hit it off as well.  We took many great trophies including, Bushbuck, Waterbuck, Gemsbok, Warthog, Impala, Zebra and I was fortunate to take a fabulous Kudu to cap the trip off in grand style.If you have ever dreamed of hunting in Africa give Alex a call, he will make it his business to give you the best experience of your life.

Mitch Monson

This was an incredible hunt. We saw many animals every day. There were Impala, Blesbuck, and Kudu. Warthog, Eland, Giraffe, Gemsbok, Waterbuck, Red hartebeest, Wildebeest, Ostrich, Bushbuck, Zebra, Steenbok, Baboon, Monkeys, Mongoose, along with many birds like Guinea Hens, Franklins, ( a grouse like a bird) Vultures and Hawks.

Alex and the crew were great. They went way out of their way to make my hunt successful. He is in the process of remodelling two chalets to make them accessible. Also, he is working on putting some type of lift on the truck, so he can raise a wheelchair in the back. I can’t wait to go back. If you have ever considered an African hunt, Kudu Adventures can meet all your needs. You can meet Alex and Dean at the Minnesota Deer Classic or the Northwest Sport show. You can also contact me for more information and I can put you in touch with them.

Doug Bermel

I took my son on the hunt as a graduation present, expecting a once in a lifetime trip. We had a list of the animals we wanted to hunt and on day two my son brought me a list of what he was going to hunt when we came back, he hadn’t even shot the first animal. The whole trip was awesome. My son was usually hunting a different blind and I was letting him shoot the big animals, I was having them come into range and he was not, Alex showed real concern for my son to get what he wanted to shoot, he put up a new tree stand and my son was able to get his trophy. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the hard work and dedication that was put into making our once in a lifetime hunt an experience we will repeat again, next time we will take more family and friends.
