Starts From $3 000

Giraffes are found in savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa, from Chad to South Africa. They prefer areas with abundant trees and shrubs that they can browse on. Giraffes are adapted to hot, dry climates and can go for long periods without water.
Male giraffes can reach up to 18 feet tall and weigh up to 4,500 pounds, while females are slightly smaller, reaching up to 16 feet tall and weighing up to 2,600 pounds. Their long legs can be up to 6 feet long and their necks can reach up to 6 feet in length.
Giraffes have a distinctive coat pattern of irregular, dark brown spots on a lighter tan background. The pattern is unique to each individual and can help with identification. They also have a long, dark-colored tongue that they use to strip leaves from branches.
When hunting giraffes, hunters should use a high-powered rifle and ammunition that can penetrate the thick skin and bones of the animal. A scope is recommended for accurate shot placement. Additionally, hunting from a blind or elevated position can help hunters get closer to the animal.
Giraffes are generally easy to spot due to their height, but hunting guides can help hunters locate them by tracking their footprints or droppings. They can also use spotting scopes to locate giraffes from a distance.
When hunting giraffes, hunters should aim for the heart and lungs, located in the chest area. The brain is also a viable target, but it is smaller and more difficult to hit. Hunters should avoid shooting the legs or neck, as these areas are less likely to result in a clean kill.
