The number below is not an estimate from an old brochure — it is the live listed trophy-fee position for common waterbuck across farms on Safari Hunts, and it updates automatically as outfitters adjust their price lists.
Live trophy-fee range across 5 active Safari Hunts listings — updates automatically as farms change their prices.
Add the trophy fee to your daily-rate block: rate × nights × hunters. Common Waterbuck hunts sit comfortably inside a standard 5–7 night safari, and the species pairs naturally with other plains game to spread the daily-rate cost across several trophies. Deposits on Safari Hunts are 50% into escrow, balance 90 days before arrival, trophy fees settled at the farm for animals taken.
Shaggy, bull-necked and wearing the famous white target ring, a waterbuck bull looks half-stag, half-bear and entirely magnificent against winter riverine bush. They hold close to permanent water, which anchors the hunt: work the drainage lines at first light, glass the reedbeds, and be ready when a heavy-horned bull stands out of the grey. The sweeping forward-curved horns make one of the classic African shoulder mounts.
