Where Serval Hunting Takes Place

Servals (Leptailurus serval) are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, typically in areas with tall grasses, open savannas, and dense undergrowth. The best locations for serval hunting are:

• South Africa – South Africa is one of the premier destinations for serval hunting, with vast, open savannas and grasslands providing ideal habitat for this elusive species. The Hunting Consortium arranges hunts in the country’s remote regions, where hunters can track and hunt servals in their natural environment.
• Zimbabwe – Zimbabwe offers excellent serval hunting opportunities in its arid, wide-open landscapes. The country’s remote areas provide the perfect setting for hunting servals, with the chance to track this elusive wildcat across rugged terrain.
• Tanzania – Tanzania is another top destination for serval hunting, with its combination of open savannas and dense grasslands offering prime habitat for this beautiful predator. The Hunting Consortium arranges guided serval hunts in Tanzania’s wild and untamed environments.

Why Hunt Serval?

Serval hunting is a unique experience due to the species’ elusive nature, striking appearance, and challenging behavior. Servals are skilled hunters themselves, capable of catching small mammals, birds, and even amphibians. They are incredibly agile and stealthy, making them difficult to spot and track. The serval’s long legs and large ears are adapted for listening and hunting in tall grasses, making them one of Africa’s most specialized wildcats. The Hunting Consortium ensures that every serval hunt is an unforgettable adventure, offering hunters the chance to pursue one of Africa’s most fascinating and challenging animals.

What Makes Serval Hunts Unique?

Serval hunts are unique due to the species’ elusive behavior, remarkable agility, and striking beauty. Servals have adapted to hunting in tall grass and brush, making them well-suited for their environments. They are known for their ability to leap great distances and catch prey mid-air, displaying an incredible level of agility. Hunting this elusive species requires patience, stealth, and skill, making it a rewarding experience for those seeking a true challenge. The Hunting Consortium specializes in serval hunting in some of Africa’s most remote and wild regions, ensuring a thrilling pursuit.

Hunting Techniques for Serval

Hunting servals requires specialized techniques due to their elusive nature and their ability to blend seamlessly into their environment. The most common hunting methods for serval include:

• Spot and Stalk – Spotting and stalking is one of the most effective ways to hunt servals. These wildcats tend to remain hidden in tall grasses, making it essential for hunters to carefully observe the landscape and approach with stealth. The Hunting Consortium’s expert guides provide invaluable assistance in stalking servals, ensuring a successful hunt.
• Tracking – Tracking is another important technique for hunting servals, especially in areas where they blend into dense vegetation. The Hunting Consortium’s skilled trackers follow the serval’s spoor and signs to locate it, allowing hunters to get within range.
• Night Hunts – Servals are nocturnal hunters, which makes night hunting a popular method for tracking and hunting this elusive wildcat. Using specialized equipment such as thermal optics, hunters can track and hunt servals during the night when they are most active. The Hunting Consortium arranges safe and guided night hunts for servals.
