Springhare Hunting at AHL
A New Night Hunting Experience at Africa Hunt Lodge: Springhare Hunting
At Africa Hunt Lodge, we’re always looking for ways to add more value and excitement to our clients’ safari experience, and sometimes, it’s not always about the biggest trophy on the list.
We’re excited to introduce a new species to our offering: Springhare hunting.
For those who have spent time in Africa, you know that the bush doesn’t go quiet when the sun goes down. In many ways, it comes alive. Springhare hunting gives you the opportunity to step into that world and experience a completely different side of the safari.
Something Different and a lot of Fun!
Springhare hunting is one of those experiences that quickly becomes a favorite.
They’re not a traditional plains game animal, and that’s exactly what makes them so enjoyable. These animals move with a unique, bouncing motion, almost like a miniature kangaroo, and hunting them requires quick reactions, good shooting, and a bit of patience.
It’s fast paced, lighthearted, and a great way to spend an evening after a full day in the field.
A Perfect Addition to Your Safari
One of the best things about springhare hunting is how easily it fits into your trip.
After a day of hunting kudu, impala, or buffalo, instead of calling it a night, you can head back out after dinner with your PH and spotlight the fields and open areas around the lodge. It adds more time in the bush without taking away from your main safari goals.
And because it’s an affordable species, it’s something most hunters can add without significantly increasing the overall cost of their trip.
Experience Africa After Dark
There’s something special about being out in the African bush at night. The air cools down, the sounds change, and your senses sharpen.
Springhare hunting gives you a reason to stay out there a little longer.
It’s not just about the hunt....it’s about the experience. The quiet drives, the sudden flash of eyes in the spotlight, the quick shot when the opportunity presents itself, it all adds up to something memorable.
A Unique Trophy Option
While many hunters simply enjoy the experience, springhare also make for a unique and interesting trophy.
They are often mounted as a full-body display, showing off their powerful back legs and distinctive look. They also pair well in predator or night hunting displays for those looking to add something different to their trophy room.
