At Bushmen Safaris, bow hunters can enjoy a great number of amenities including an abundant selection of animals to hunt during their safari experience. One such animal is the Blue Wildebeest, a large mammal of the Bovid family. Muscular in appearance, this animal moves gracefully on slim legs. Although the Blue Wildebeest has a reputation for stampeding, this animal generally moves quietly, but when spooked can charge across the plain at speeds up to 40 mph. The Blue Wildebeest is a large, bearded antelope native to the acacia savanna and short grass plains that is often referred to as the “poor man’s” buffalo.
