Another feature of the Hartman variety is the lump where the neck meets the head. Taxidermists often miss this piece of anatomy on this particular specie

My two trips, hands down my favorite meat was zebra (Burchell's if if matters). It was better than anything else I tried, and all of it was very good.

I’ve never eaten either. Hartmann zebra is supposed to be good. I can’t say I have an interest in trying burchell zebra if I have other meat in camp.

It was my favorite meat.

We had it in cured salami every night for appetizers with crackers and cheese,

We had it in German style sausage and potatoes, and we also had backstrap steak grilled over charcoal.

Lastly was zebra burger with fresh made buns

All Hartmanns zebra in namib. It was fantastic red meat. If they don’t had any fresh zebra in camp I will have to shoot a Hartmanns for the week.

I’ve eaten Hartman’s zebraschnitzel. It was amazing.

A burger with a knife and fork! The horror….
Zebra is great venison though. Cold smoked Hartmann zebra fillet is something special.

Both Burchell’s and Hartmann’s are very good to eat. It isa pain to trim the yellow fat off of a Zebra carcass though.

For those travelling Namibia, Joe’s Beerhouse in Windhoek serves a mean Zebra steak

I have eaten Burchell and it was delicious. The vast majority of people in camp thought it was the best of all the plains game tried. I have heard that from others as well.

But I have also seen people on this site say they thought it was terrible, and some people said it was the yellow fat that made it taste bad.

Not sure why the discrepancy, but my own personal experience eating it was that it was very good.

All these years I had been told zebra was not that good. This past trip we had different game every night. One night we had a cook off, Zebra and I believe eland. Everyone got to choose what meat was better, it was 100% for the zebra. It really was amazing.
