Join us on a one-of-a-kind adventure as you track the majestic gemsbok across the arid veld of South Africa. These desert antelope are known for their endurance and beauty. Gemsbok are a sight to behold with their striking black-and-white facial markings and long, spear-like horns. Hunting these magnificent creatures with Likhulu Safaris will be an experience you will never forget in the bush.

Hunting gemsbok with Likhulu Safaris is a thrilling and rewarding experience. The hunt typically takes place in the vast open plains and semi-desert areas where these animals thrive. Stalking and spotting are the primary methods used, requiring patience and keen observation skills. Hunters must be prepared for long-range shots, as gemsbok are highly alert and can detect predators from a distance.

Likhulu Safaris offers expert guides who are familiar with gemsbok behavior and habitat. They use their extensive knowledge to track the animals and position hunters for the best possible shot. Early morning and late afternoon hunts are most effective, as gemsbok are more active during cooler parts of the day. The use of high-quality optics and rifles is crucial for a successful hunt, and Likhulu Safaris provides top-notch equipment to ensure a memorable hunting adventure.

When it comes to equipment, a rifle chambered in calibers like .270, .30-06, or .300 Win Mag is recommended for gemsbok hunting due to the animal’s robust build. Shots are often taken from 200 to 300 yards, so precision and power are essential. Besides stalking, hunting methods include using blinds near waterholes, where gemsbok frequently visit during the dry season.

Likhulu Safaris emphasizes ethical hunting practices, ensuring that each shot is taken with care to ensure a quick and humane kill. Their professional trackers are adept at reading the subtle signs of gemsbok movement, making the hunt both challenging and exciting. This combination of expertise and respect for wildlife makes for a successful and fulfilling hunting experience.
