I'm not sure, but I would suspect that the habitat requirements of a bongo are not easily met in South Africa. When an animal is indemic to such a restricted geographic area and specific habitat, they often to not do well elsewhere.It is a beautiful animal! I'm surprised that the South African ranchers have not imported these to raise. Given that lions are off the USA list with Elephants soon to follow it might be something to consider for future big ticket hunts.
I would love to have on but the areas one would need to hunt would be difficult.
Charlie we have them all over south Texas. That being said its not the same as hunting them in the CAR and the cost is about the same out the door but.... There are a ton of them here.It is a beautiful animal! I'm surprised that the South African ranchers have not imported these to raise.
