Overview

Oryx (Oryx gazella)

The Oryx, also known as the Gemsbok, is one of Namibia’s most iconic and sought-after game species. Known for its striking markings, muscular build, and long, spear-like horns, the oryx is a true symbol of strength and resilience in the harsh desert environment.

Highly adapted to arid regions, the oryx can survive extreme heat and go long periods without water. Both males and females carry horns that can reach up to 85 cm (33 in) or more, making careful horn assessment essential for trophy hunting.

For hunters, the oryx offers a challenging and rewarding pursuit — with its tough nature, keen senses, and impressive trophy quality, it is a must-have for any plains game collection.
