There are two subspecies of springbok: the oryx and the common springbok. The oryx is the largest of the two, with males reaching a height of 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) and weighing in at up to 150 kilograms (331 pounds). Their horns are also much larger than those of other members of their species, growing up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) long!

The common springbok has a more average height and weight for its species, but can still grow quite large—the average male generally measures around 90 centimetres (35 inches) tall at shoulder height and weighs around 30 kilograms (66 pounds). These animals can be found throughout southern Africa, including Namibia and South Africa.

Habitat

The springbok is a large antelope found in the savannahs of southern Africa. It has an adaptable habitat range and can be found in a wide variety of habitats. Springbok prefer grassy plains, which are common throughout their range. In Namibia, springboks are found in Etosha National Park; Damaraland; Kaokoland; Namib-Naukluft Park; Sperrgebiet/Richtersveld National Park; Southern Kalahari Game Reserve; and Tsumeb. They are also found throughout Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Chobe National Parks as well as in South Africa’s Kruger National Park and Hwange National Park as well as Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools (Madima) Game Reserve.

Physical Description

The springbok is a small antelope, with a body length of about 1.5 meters (4.9 feet). The tail measures between 20 and 30 centimetres (8 to 12 inches). The average weight of an adult male is around 20 kilograms (45 pounds), while the weight of an adult female ranges between 15 and 18 kg (33-40 lb).

The springbok has a white coat with a black stripe along its back. Its ears extend almost to its nose and are long, thin, and pointed at the end. Its tail is black as well; however, if you look closely at it under bright light conditions or direct sunlight you’ll notice that it has some white spots on it. This unique feature helps the animal keep cool when temperatures rise during hot weather periods like those experienced in Namibia’s summer months between November through March

Antelope Hunting Season

The springbok season is during the spring, from September to May. Only daylight hunting is allowed, so you can expect to be hunting in the early morning and late afternoon. It’s not uncommon for a hunter to shoot his or her first animal within 10 minutes of getting out of bed!

Springbok are hunted with either a rifle or bow and arrow. The hide makes great leather goods such as gloves and boots; its meat is delicious, and its horns are used in traditional African medicine.

The prices for a springbok hunting trip are based on the time of year, and where it takes place.

Each springbok hunting trip has a different price, based on the time of year and where it takes place. For example, a springbok hunting trip in South Africa will be more expensive than one in Namibia. In addition to these factors, the size of your antelope is also important; larger springboks are more valuable than smaller ones. The quality of your trophy can affect its price as well—if you want to sell your head mount or wall plaque at auction then it’s good to know that there’s the additional value associated with having an exceptional head mount or plaque.
