Waterbuck Hunts
The majestic waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is a large antelope species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Renowned for its distinct physical features and remarkable resilience, the waterbuck is a prized trophy among hunters. Let us explore some key characteristics of this magnificent creature:
- Appearance: The waterbuck is easily recognizable by its shaggy, reddish-brown coat and a unique white ring encircling its rump. The males, or bulls, are significantly larger than the females, or cows, and often sport impressive curved horns.
- Habitat: Waterbucks inhabit grassy plains, marshes, and savannas close to water sources such as rivers, lakes, and swamps. They are well-adapted to semi-aquatic environments, with a special oily secretion that acts as a waterproofing agent.
- Behavior: These majestic creatures are primarily grazers, feeding on grasses and reeds near water bodies. Waterbucks are known for their alertness and exceptional hearing, making them a challenging quarry for hunters. Their strong herding instincts also mean they are rarely encountered alone.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!
The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
