Of all the African game meat, which is your favourite? How would you rank them?

[Sika98k]

Oryx or eland would be my favorites. Monkey balls on toast didn’t really do it for me.

This thread has my mouth watering and I have to ask an obvious question-- can you bring any meat back to US/Canada?

Short answer is no. It would have to be processed and shipped and would be very expensive I imagine.

Cant just take it back on the plane.

I’ve heard eland is crazy good eating. my dad would vouch for zebra, nyala and kudu. From what I’ve had, I really like gemsbok and sable.

Eland tastes just like beef, few people can discern the difference.
Springbuck haunch is better than mutton IMO.
In the wetter hunting areas bushbuck and reedbuck is best. My wife doew not like venison (blesbuck will do that to you), but does not mind me filling the fridge with headshot bushbuck and reedbuck.
My dad tells me that in the old days farmers used to shoot Roan for rations north of the Soutpansberg in South Africa. It was fairly common to shoot giraffe for farm staff in Northern Namibia untill not too long ago.

As a north American hunter that's never tried African game meat, what's it like?

What tastes the best? the worst?

Are they comparable at all to any North American game meat.

I'm a huge fan of bison meat, how does cape Buffalo compare?

zebra fillet is the best fillet I've ever eaten. the sausages made from zebra meat is also delicious, specifically cheese grillers but obviously not the healthiest choice. Buffalo can be a bit tough but all the other game meat i have tried has been really good too. zebra is hands down my favorite though.
