Zebra hunting can prove very challenging as judging stallions from mares can be difficult, and the zebra is a remarkably resilient member of the equine family. Hunting zebra in South Africa is usually done via spot and stalk methods, or still hunting if you are a bow hunter. Zebra are most active during the early morning or late afternoon hours, and can be found wandering to and from water sources. If they are in open terrain, a stalk can be quite difficult as they have very good eyesight and the herd will be on high alert for danger. When hunting zebra in South Africa, these animals are very prolific and make for an extremely exciting and rewarding hunt. Our hunting areas are of the highest quality and our professional hunters have years of experience in guiding you on a successful and rewarding zebra hunt. We offer zebra hunts of exceptional quality in excellent areas which are large, government-owned game reserves. Herds of animals have roamed these vast expanses of land for years. Hunting zebra within these large areas is a complete free-range hunt. We pride ourselves not only in top trophy quality, but in the complete authentic hunting experience. Zebras make excellent rugs and pedestal hunts.
Zebras have black fur with white stripes and predominantly white bellies. Their feet are capped with a singular, hard hoof, which packs a punch when kicked at predators. They have large, rounded ears with lots of hair to keep dust out of them.
Throughout South Africa
Zebra are a savannah species, preferring open woodland, grassveld and floodplains. They avoid dense savannah and is seldom seen further than 12km from water.
When hunting zebra in Africa, firearms in the .270 to .300 range, like the 7mm Remington Magnum, or the .308 Winchester are perfect to ensure a quality trophy zebra.
On a zebra hunting safari, shot placement should be in the bottom third of the animal directly above the front shoulder. This will result in a heart or lung shot.

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.
