South Africa offers the opportunity to hunt anything from birds to elephant. It is the only country where you can still hunt all the "Big Five", i.e. elephant, rhino (white), buffalo, lion and leopard. It offers some of the continent's finest hunting for a wide variety of other species, in trophy quality and quantity of game. Animals that offer exceptionally good hunting opportunities include Greater Kudu, Blue Wildebeest, Nyala, Cape Eland, Southern Impala, Common Waterbuck, Kalahari Springbok, Klipspringer, etc. It is home to twenty-nine antelope species, more than any other country in Africa. And of these, twenty-six species are hunt able and seven found only in South Africa. South Africa is the only place that offers the "Mini Five" - five small antelope from the following group: Grey Duiker, Red Duiker, Blue Duiker, Sunni, Oribi, and Cape Grysbok.

South Africa offers wonderful bird shooting opportunities as well. There is a great variety available to the bird shooter, including fourteen hunt able species of duck, two kind of geese, ten types of pheasant, plus guinea fowl, pigeons, doves and quail.
