Hunting suni in South Africa is a very specialized hunt, with the suni forming a part of the elusive Tiny Ten. This is more of a collector’s hunt and Somerby Safaris specializes in suni hunting for the experienced hunter looking to add to their growing collection. Suni hunting can definitely be classified as a destination hunt. Hunting suni in Africa is done primarily along game trails, which they tend to frequent and this can make them relatively easy to trap. When hunting suni in Africa, a hunter can take advantage of the suni’s habit of freezing briefly, before taking flight again. Somerby Safaris have highly specialized professional hunters, trained and experienced in hunting the Tiny Ten antelopes of Africa. We have the best concessions and hunting areas, to ensure that you successfully get your trophy suni antelope to add to your trophy room back home. Experience unrivaled Tiny Ten hunting for a trophy suni with Somerby Safaris. Hunting suni in South Africa takes place in the Zululand and some parts of the Eastern Cape.
It has a slender build and relatively high hindquarters. Dorsally it has a speckled appearance and varies from gray to rich chestnut with a reddish tinge. The sides of its body are paler and the underparts, the chin, throat, and the insides of the legs, are white. Only male Suni have horns, which range from 6.5 cm to 13.3 cm. The horns are wide-set, black, ridged, and slant back in line with the face. Suni are distinguishable from other small antelope by the absence of tufts of long hair on their heads and knees. They vary in color from light brown to dark reddish brown. Only males have horns which are ringed and slope backward, level with the snout.
Zululand and some parts of the Eastern Cape
Suni enjoy thick, dry underbrush terrains, either in montane forests above 9000 feet or in riparian reed scrub.
Mostly browsers, they like the tender shoots of trees, mushrooms, fallen fruit, weed and occasionally grass and field crops. Not dependent on water, they get all they need from their diet. Suni live in thick undergrowth and dense forests. Usually found in pairs roaming and protecting their territory.
When hunting suni in Africa, the best choice of firearm is a shotgun. There will only be a fleeting glimpse of this little antelope before it heads off.
In terms of shot placement when hunting suni, pick whatever part of the suni shows. If a rifle hunt is planned, the shot will have to be fast, and if the chance occurs, aim for the area behind the shoulder.

It’s not just the doing of a thing, but how one does a thing that at the dusk of memory takes one back to the sharp moment of action and then a whiskey and a fire shared with a trusted PH ... that is the true and the beautiful essence of “Safari,” at least for me.
