About the meat from a safari...

Welcome to AH !

By far, my favorite meat is Eland, backstrap cut into slices, properly marinated and then cooked over the braai. Just delicious !

Eland looks like a Brahman bull. I like the back straps of just about any game animal.

I’ll have to agree with the eland and buffalo backstraps as the best I have sampled. Pretty much everything was at least good (what meat grilled over an open fire isn’t?). Still want to try some of the cats.

Cats on the menu -errr not for me Ridgewalker.
But, let’s know how they taste.

I’ve eaten Bobcats (younger ones) that were delicious! They were very fine grained almost veal like. Read about and talked to people (guides) who have eaten mountain lion and they said it was delicious. So I plan to try the backstraps of any I can take.

I have read this all my life, and have a friend who tried it in a black bear hunt and confirmed it was the best game meat he had eaten. I would like to try it.

Having just returned from Limpopo region of South Africa this week, I clearly remember everything we ate. Gemsbuck roast, Warthog bbq ribs, Impala chicken fried steak style, ground sable, kudu stir fry, ground impala, eland steaks over the braai, Blesbuck burgers, ostrich burgers, red hartebeest neck roast, and springbok biltong. All were fantastic. Personally I liked the red hartebeest neck that our camp staff slow cooked for who knows how long. The meat was almost like a pot roast in that it fell apart and easily could pick any bone out. Eland steaks grilled over the campfire was great. Try everything while there and you shall be pleasantly surprised. All the meats didn't taste much like venison I was used to, almost like a mild lamb/beef combo with a hint of sweetness to each.
