Species guide

Game Species

These are the Southern African hunting species represented in OnsJag’s service templates and hunt-planning catalogue — plains game and antelope, the Big Five and dangerous game, predators, pigs and other plains game. Use it to plan a hunt and recognise the game you may encounter in the field.

This is a species and template guide for hunt planning, not an availability list.

OnsJag does not stock or sell game. Individual farms, outfitters and providers choose their own species, classes, pricing and availability. What appears on this page reflects the service templates available in OnsJag, not what any specific business currently offers.
