Zebra (Burchell’s)
The Icon of Africa: Burchell’s Zebra- A Must-Have for Every African Safari
No African trophy room is complete without the striking patterns of the Burchell’s Zebra. Known for their keen eyesight and "shadow stripes," these animals are the ultimate sentinels of the bush. Hunting Zebra is a challenging game of stealth; they are incredibly hardy and usually travel in herds, meaning you’ll have many sets of eyes watching your every move.
What to Expect:
The Hunt: This is an exhilarating spot-and-stalk experience. Zebra are notoriously difficult to approach, often requiring long stalks through broken terrain and thick cover.
The Trophy: We focus on harvesting mature stallions, which yield the most beautiful, thick-skinned hides. The Burchell’s variety is famous for its "shadow stripes"—fainter brownish stripes between the bold black and white—giving the hide a unique, multi-dimensional look.
Versatility: Whether you are looking for a magnificent flat skin rug or a stunning pedestal mount, the Zebra is a versatile and timeless addition to your collection.
Package Highlights:
Expert skinning and prep to ensure the hide remains in pristine condition for taxidermy.
Hunted in their natural herd environment for a truly authentic experience.
Ideal for both rifle and bow hunters.
What to Expect:
The Hunt: These animals are notoriously "skittish" and fast. The hunt typically involves glassing open areas and executing long-distance stalks. Their erratic "dancing" and territorial displays make for a thrilling and visually spectacular pursuit.
The Trophy: We target mature bulls with heavy, well-developed "bosses" and a deep downward hook in the horns. The contrast between the dark coat and the flowing white tail makes this one of the most striking mounts for any trophy room.
The Challenge: Often called the "Poor Man's Buffalo" due to their toughness and aggressive temperament, a Black Wildebeest is a true test of a hunter’s marksmanship.
Package Highlights:
Expert 1-on-1 guiding to identify mature, medal-class bulls.
Ethical, fair-chase pursuit in their natural open-plains habitat.
Complete field care and preparation for your taxidermist.
