Steenbok

The Steenbok is the largest of the mini-antelopes in South Africa. These beautiful small antelopes are found largely on the open savannah areas. Steenbok is not happy to stay in the dense bush.

Only the males carry upright small horns, and are usually being spotted alone. Only when the females are in the rutting season, are they seen in pairs. Like many other species of antelope, these small animals are mostly active during the morning and evening hours. Both males and females can be extremely territorial and defend their territory against all intruders. When a Steenbok discovers a danger, it lays flat down in the grass, to avoid detection.

Hunting Steenbok

Many smaller riffle calibres can effectively be used in the hunt for this little wild species. If using full-jacketed ammunition, even larger calibres can be used.

Side By Side Safaris exclusive hunting lodge is located in the middle of a hunting area for Steenbok, which may be hunted directly from the lodge. Trophy quality is the absolute top class.
