Looking at your list the best advise i can offer is give yourself a bit more time to gain some experience.

Especially before you spend a lot of money shooting all those color variants. Not to mention the taxidermy. Not saying you shouldn't do what you want! Just saying give it more thought.... They really are not different species and they are likely to all be on high fenced property. Again if that is your thing, go for it. Just realize what else is available, especially when you look beyond RSA. And especially if you really have a goal of getting everything Africa has to offer.

I've seen mountain reedbuck added to the tiny ten, doesn't mean it's supposed to be on there. Some guys want to get everything in South Africa so they make stuff up. I've heard claims that hippo is now part of the Big Five, BS.

Your spiral slam is drastically short... you may have a South Africa version but that doesn't even come close. Missing bongo, sitatunga, lesser kudu, mountain Nyala, Lord Derby Eland, Livingston Eland, several bushbucks, etc. A complete Spiral Slam is very expensive.

You are missing some hartebeest, wildebeest, all the gazelles, the Silent Seven Genets, Serval, African Wild Cat, Serval, Civit, mongoose, you have Jackal but there are multiple at least side striped and black backed should be on

the list. What about Brown Hyena and Cheetah or are you limiting to importable to the USA?

Savanna Buffalo, Dwarf Forest Buffalo, Nile Buffalo.

These lists can go on and on

Webley - While my list, it isn’t a giant list of what I want to hunt. Started as more of a list to see what is out there and that I might like to hunt.

ActionBob - You have a lot for me to add to the list. Definitely doesn’t have to be importable, although that is important for me now.

Thank you for taking the time to check it. O did a quick search and the book is not available in the States.

Sorry to hear it’s no longer available in the states, I got my copy from SAFARI PRESS years ago before they were bought out by TROPHY BOOKS I think it was.

Osama, don’t know if this will help but the book was published by “The African Wildlife Subspecies Foundation” www.subspecies foundation.org
Good luck

Cookson wildebeest in luangwa..nyasa wildebeest in southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique.....there are only two types of wildebeest...blue and black...the blue does have subspecies...

Common Wildebeest – Saving The Survivors

What! No three-toed piebaldcooncivit?

May be example of “can’t see the forest for the trees”.

Length of list depends on who compiles the list, lumper or splitter…. The lines really blur near the subspecies and geographic race interface, never mind the melanistic variants or color anomalies. Some could be called, “marketing variants”. I’m still waiting for the “Oreo impala”

PS, where’s the oryx?

So do outfitters / breeders.

 

[Tusker]

I get a lot of inquires of people wanting to hunt one of each on the price list and explain that Zimbabwe is not SA or Namibia.
I’m not against fenced hunting (I’ve donde A LOT, specially culling) but is unfair to compare a tiny 10 slam from SA/Namibia with the rain forest. Or a rhino with an elephant, one you get is a pin and the other you have to track for days.
I respect everyone’s list, but some I respect more than other✍

The game list approach to a safari is totally lost on me. It almost feels like you’re going grocery shopping. There’s no way I get on a sixteen hour flight to cruise around in a bakkie with a list. For me it’s about the experience. A bush camp with a fire morning and night, good company, and great trackers. I want to put miles on my boots and shoot a few hard earned trophies.

100% agree. For list go to Texas and get them in half of the time.

Well you can certainly do the same in RSA Hell some use it as a selling point! Of course with Texas you avoid the long flight....

I talking about my admiration for Jim Shockey going on literally a death defying Markhor hunt. A Texas guy was telling me how he could "get one for you" for a fraction of the cost and without the risk to live and limb. He just simply could not understand and it was a waste of breath to explain the "accomplishment" is the biggest trophy.

 

[MarkB]

Cannot have a list without serval, civet, genet's, even porcupine. At least from my point of safari view.

To view the most comprehensive list fully mounted, come to Vancouver Island and donate to go in Jim Shockey's Hand Of Man. It IS worth the day.
