Greater Kudu Hunting in Southern Africa

Known as the “Grey Ghost,” the Greater Kudu is one of the most iconic and elusive plains game trophies on the continent. With spiral horns that can exceed 55 inches and an ability to vanish in thick bush, they represent the heart and soul of fair-chase hunting in Africa.

Why Greater Kudu in Africa?

• Massive Spiral Horns: The defining feature of any true African trophy room.
  
  
• Incredible Camouflage: Kudu blend perfectly into thornveld, mopane forests, and bushveld.

Hunting Methods

• Tracking and Glassing: Slow, methodical hunting through thick cover.
  
  
• Calling: Use soft grunts and cow calls during the rut to pull bulls into range.
  
  
• Stalks from Elevated Vantage Points: Locate bulls in early morning or late afternoon.
