Common Springbuck

The Symbol of the African Plains

The Common Springbuck is famous for its elegant tan-and-white coat, dark side stripe and spectacular pronking display, where it leaps high into the air with stiff legs as a signal of excitement or alertness.

Capable of reaching speeds of nearly 90 km/h, Springbuck thrive across open grasslands and semi-arid regions, where they rely on keen eyesight and exceptional agility to avoid predators.

Living in herds that range from small family groups to large migratory populations, they are one of the continent's most recognisable antelope and remain a favourite among hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike.

Their combination of beauty, speed and classic African character has made the Springbuck one of the premier plains game trophies in Southern Africa.
