Hunting Gerenuk

Beautiful, unique animals.

They are available in Tanzania. I believe only on a 21 day license.

They may be available in Ethiopia.

Not aware of any in SA, but that doesn't mean its not available.

Cool looking little antelope. Kinda surprised if there isn't a few on some of the SA ranches?

I am not aware of any Gerenuk available to hunt in South Africa.

Expensive to hunt! I would love to hunt one though..........

Very interesting animal

Why they so expensive to hunt they hard to find/rare? Also wonder why they arent on ranches in SA? Any thoughts?

Pretty cool animal but a little out of my price range!

Saw a nice one taken in Tanzania on my first safari in 1985, by the chap I was sharing the 2x1 hunt with. Neat animal. Back then it was relatively inexpensive and could be taken on a 7 day hunt. Love to hunt there again someday but it has become nearly cost prohibitive.

Nathan Askew / @Bullet Safaris lists Gerenuk in his current brochure but they might only be available on a 21 day license, not sure about that.

A neat little antelope. A quick Google gave me this about their range:

L. w. sclateri (Northern gerenuk) Neumann, 1988 : Known as Sclater's gazelle. Its range extends from northwestern Somalia (Berbera District) westward to touch the Egyptian border and Djibouti.

L. w. walleri (Southern gerenuk) (Brooke, 1878): Known as Waller's gazelle. Its range extends through northeastern Tanzania through Kenya to Galcaio (Somalia). The range lies north of the Shebelle River and near Juba River.
