About The Animal
The Cape Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) is a large African antelope, known for its distinctive appearance. It has a reddish-brown coat, a long, narrow face, and sharply pointed horns, which are present in both males and females. The horns have a complex curving shape, creating a distinctive silhouette. Adult Cape Hartebeests can weigh between 150 to 200 kg, with a powerful build that is well-suited to the open grasslands and semi-desert regions they inhabit.
Cape Hartebeests are primarily grazers, feeding on grasses, and are known for their endurance and speed. They are social animals, often found in herds, and can be quite vigilant, making them a challenging target for hunters.
Hunting the Cape Hartebeest in South Africa is a test of skill and patience. Their keen senses and strong herd instincts make them wary and challenging to approach. The hunt typically involves a combination of careful stalking and strategic positioning, utilizing the natural terrain.
The expertise of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is invaluable in these hunts. Their knowledge of the Hartebeest’s behavior and habitat, along with their experienced tracking skills, greatly enhance the hunting experience, ensuring it is conducted ethically and responsibly.
