The Prince of Africa: Sable and Sable Hunting

Stunning. Regal. Majestic. There are just not enough words to describe this beautiful antelope, known as the “Prince of Africa”. A species high on every African hunter’s bucket list. A revered animal, sold as a special package or specified minimum amount of hunting days. The Sable.

The Sable Antelope has lightning-fast reactions and sharp long curved horns, with which it is able to protect its flanks, making it a formidable foe when attacked by Lions, Hyenas and other predators. Adult males have jet black faces with white facial markings and a graceful horse-like body, making it one of Africa’s most desirable hunting trophies.

Africa / Hunting Tips and Techniques

Wind can be your best friend or worst enemy when hunting. If the wind is in your favour, the chances of you being detected through your smell are greatly diminished and the likelihood of a successful stalk is greatly improved.
