Hunting warthog in Africa can be an extremely exciting experience. Trophy warthog are perpetually on the move and shooting one can prove to be challenging. When they run or trot, they hold their tail straight up. Warthog hunting can be done by searching for tracks leading to water. African warthogs like to bask in the mud and frequent waterholes. When hunting African warthogs, hunters must ensure that they are downwind from the animal because despite its bad eyesight, a warthog’s sense of smell and hearing are both exceptional. Whether you are setting out for a trophy warthog specifically or encounter one by chance, Somerby Safaris offers the best warthog hunting in South Africa. Our hunting areas are outstanding, with a variety of species and our professional hunters have skill and experience second to none. Your African warthog hunt will be both exciting and rewarding. Our superb hunting areas are home to warthog with extremely impressive tusks. When hunting warthog in South Africa with Somerby Safaris we will hunt in the Limpopo, Eastern Cape, North West and Zululand provinces.
The warthog is a sparsely haired, large-headed, blackish or brown animal standing about 30 inches at the shoulder and weighing approximately 180 pounds. It has a coarse mane extending from the neck to the middle of the back, and it has a long, thin, tufted tail that it carries high while it’s running.
Warthog are hunted in the Limpopo, Eastern Cape, North West and Zululand provinces of South Africa.
Common warthogs are found in open and wooded savannas, grass-steppes, and semi-deserts in Africa. Common warthogs prefer open areas and avoid rainforest and severe desert.
Grazer. Lives in family groups, nursing groups and temporary bachelor groups, while solitary males are not uncommon. Diurnal and sleeps at night in old Ant Bear holes, always entering backwards. Such holes serve as shelter against predators and bad weather. Home ranges overlap and become larger in dry seasons. Enjoys mud wallows.
With warthog hunting, any rifle in the 7mm - 30 caliber with 170-180 grain bullets will handle hunting an African warthog of average size.
Many hunters prefer the frontal brain shot. For a successful frontal brain shot, aim right between the eyes. If he runs away, however, make use of the "Texas heart shot", which is just below the anus.
