Specialty Animal Hunts in South Africa
South Africa has the best specialty animal hunting in all of Africa. Specialty animal hunts in South Africa have evolved from these animals being taken as animals of opportunity to more focused hunts seeking a specific animal or two. There are now outfitters that specialize in guiding safaris specifically targeting these odds and ends animals. Many of these specialty animals are available as secondary species to a plains game or dangerous game safari. While not the main focus of the safari, they are still a major consideration when booking a hunt.
South Africa offers the greatest variety of specialty animal hunting safaris on the African Continent. Many of these exotic species are found throughout South Africa, while others are much more regionally specific. Specialty animal hunts in South Africa offer the collector a virtual smorgasbord of choices. From the small African cats to the predators, hogs, primates and snakes, the challenge of hunting and taking this wide variety of collectable specialty animals can serve as the focus of multiple hunting safaris to Africa.
Africa’s predators range from the diminutive genet all the way up to the fearsome hyenas. Just collecting the foxes, small cats, and hyenas can fill out a corner of a trophy room. Predators are usually hunted at night, and other nighttime species such as the honey badger (ratel), aardwolf and African porcupine can also be hunted concurrently. Many African hunters take specialty animal hunts in South Africa to collect the warthog and the nocturnal bushpig. Bushpigs are normally hunted over bait. But a few outfitters have trained their dogs to go after bushpigs. Either way, the taking of a trophy bushpig is a great accomplishment.
Primates are also on many hunter's African lists, and hunting baboons can be downright fun. Vervet monkeys are also a target of collectors. A couple species of mongoose are available in South Africa along with the diminutive rock hyrax. Some snakes are also available as trophies. A rock python skin makes a beautiful mount in the hands of a competent African taxidermist. Specialty animal hunts in South Africa are hard to beat!

"Best advice I can give is don't let the word DISCOUNT scare you. I was skeptical but I have hunted all over and I can tell you these trips are top notch! Everything was described accurately, no surprises. I took 9 trophies - almost every one made gold medal. I would highly recommend John Martins and Discount African Hunts. I already have another trip booked with them and I am looking at 2 more. I got everything I wanted and saved thousands doing it!"

"I looked long and far for a good deal on a lioness hunt. By far, Discount African Hunts had the best price. I had the hunt of a lifetime and took a beautiful lioness at close range with my bow. The Professional Hunter was first class, the lodge was first class and my whole experience was unbelievable. I will book with John Martins when I return to Africa to hunt leopard in Zimbabwe.
