Show Notes
In this solo episode, I dive into the fascinating world of South Africa’s indigenous antelope species—breaking down which species naturally belong to each province before the rise of game farming and wildlife relocation.
From the elusive nyala of KwaZulu-Natal to the iconic springbok of the Northern Cape, we explore how conservation, commercialization, and habitat management have reshaped the natural range of our wildlife. I also touch on the Cape buffalo’s true homeland and discuss species like sable, lechwe, and bontebok—some native, some introduced, and all important to our hunting heritage.
