About Our Waterbuck Hunts

Intro to this species—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary

The Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) is an iconic African antelope known for its impressive size and distinctive features, including a long, shaggy coat that varies from grayish-brown to reddish in color, and characteristic white circular markings on its rump. Males, which are larger than females, possess long, spiral horns that can reach lengths of up to 36 inches, making them a sought-after trophy for hunters. Waterbuck are typically found in close proximity to water sources, as they require these habitats for survival, which also contributes to their unique behavior of being less wary than other antelope species. When hunting waterbuck, it is crucial to utilize stealth and patience; given their tendency to remain near water, hunters can benefit from strategic positioning and the use of blinds. Successful hunts often involve understanding their social structure, as males are territorial and frequently engage in vocalizations, thereby offering experienced hunters a more predictable sighting opportunity.

Hunt Features

Waterbuck hunts typically take place on managed exotic-game properties offering year-round access to mature bulls distinguished by their backward-curving spiral horns. Guided fair-chase pursuits use spot-and-stalk, blinds or elevated stands along watercourses and grassland edges where these antelope naturally congregate. Hunts are often conducted 1:1 (guide to client) or in small groups, with pricing structured around a daily pursuit fee plus a trophy fee for harvested bulls. Options include trophy-only, meat-only or combination packages, and many operations run cull hunts or seasonal specials. While careful herd management yields high encounter rates, success beyond the daily fee remains subject to the unpredictability of wild game.

Amenities

Waterbuck hunts are offered as day-only outings, with no on-site housing or overnight accommodations provided. Hunters should arrange their own lodging and meals independently, as these packages do not include food service. There are no sleeping facilities, heating, or cooling amenities associated with the hunt itself. All outings are conducted under the guidance of experienced professionals, departing from a central meeting point each morning and returning at day’s end.
