Warthog Hunting in Southern Africa

Warthogs are the ultimate bonus species on any African safari. These tusked pigs are explosive runners, aggressive when cornered, and always entertaining to hunt. Found across open savannas and brush country, they’re often spotted while targeting other species.

Why Hunt Warthog in Africa?

Hunting Methods

• Waterhole Ambush: One of the best ways to catch a boar off-guard.
  
  
• Spot-and-Stalk: Quick footwork required once you locate a feeding pig.
  
  
• Still-Hunting Trails: Follow fresh tracks to wallows and mud pans.

Warthogs are an ideal add-on species and offer excellent taxidermy options—from euro mounts to full-body displays.
