Story
WILDLIFE IN CABELA'S AFRICAN SAFARI
ANTELOPE
Impala
The impala is a medium-sized antelope known for its graceful, slender body and its ability to jump and bound in a zig-zag pattern when in danger.
Horns, found in males only, are S-shaped and ridged.
Although the impala can mainly be found in herds on the savannah, they must drink water throughout the day to survive.
Lechwe
The rarest of the antelope family, lechwe can be found near marsh or swamp areas where they are well adapted to swimming and running at fast speeds through the water to escape predators.
The hind legs are set higher than the front legs and are distinguished by their long, thin horns and white underside.
Springbok
As the national symbol for South Africa, the name literally means "springing buck" because this is their identifying trait when they feel threatened.
Springbok can be distinguished from the rest of the antelope by their white faces and their stethoscope shaped horns.
Eland
The eland is the largest of the antelope and notable for the tightly twisted horns and massive neck and shoulders of the male eland.
Interestingly, the eland is found in early African rock art and strongly associated with African mythology.
Nyala
There is an extreme difference between the male and the female.
The nyala male is very shaggy looking with a very dark coat while the coat of the female is much lighter and has stripes and spots.
Kudu
The kudu is known as the more beautiful of the antelope with its loosely spiraled horns and vertical stripes on the body.
These markings make kudu hard to spot when they are standing still.
Wildebeest
The wildebeest is most often found traveling in herds and is extremely important to the environment as the herd's trampling of the grass stimulates growth.
The wildebeest is known for its shorter, curved horns and hairy tail.
Bushbuck
Very similar to the nyala, the bushbuck very closely resembles a deer.
They get their name because they are typically found on forest edges and hiding in shrubs and bushes near water sources.
Gemsbuck
This animal is distinguished clearly by the long, straight horns and the prominent black and white coloring on the face.
Gemsbuck have adapted to the very dry climate regions of Africa and can go for long periods of time without water.
Reedbuck
Closely resembling a deer, the reedbuck has the size and coloring of a deer but has shorter, V-shaped horns on the top of their heads.
The reedbuck gets its name from its habitat and can be found hiding among the grasses and reeds of wetland areas.
Waterbuck
The waterbuck, despite its name, is not likely to be found near water.
A good swimmer, it will retreat to water when in danger but you will most likely find a waterbuck on the savannah or grassland areas.
The waterbuck is also shaggier and has shorter legs than other members of the antelope family.
Duiker
Difficult to hunt because they are the smallest member of the antelope family, the duiker is still an important member of the African ecosystem because many other animals prey on duiker.
Duiker, known for being aggressive and territorial, can be identified by their short pointed horns.
Hartebeest
As another member of the antelope family, the hartebeest is defined by their long, narrow face and tall stature.
Found mostly in the grassland areas of Africa, the hartebeest is also known as one of the fastest running and toughest of the antelope species.
Sable
With their very long horns and a shaggy mane around their necks, the sable is a very distinctive member of the antelope family.
The sable prefer lightly wooded areas to the grassy areas of Africa and are known as a dangerous fighter, even for lions, because of their sharp horns.
Steenbuck
Unlike other members of the antelope family, the steenbuck is a solitary creature.
When being chased by a predator, the small, reddish colored steenbuck will hide very still in the bushes hoping for danger to pass.
Klipspringer
This tiny little antelope's name literally means "rock jumper" and is distinguished by its very small size and little horns on the head.
The klipspringer will only come up to mid-thigh but is a fast runner who is scared easily and is therefore difficult to hunt.

Safari Hunt
This is the main game mode. When selected, you are taken to the lodge of the country you are hunting in. If playing for the first time, you will go to the lodge in South Africa.
Before reaching the lodge, you will see your safari list for the day. This list details the animals to hunt and the number required to complete the mission.
At the lodge, you can consult three characters:
Tracker
The tracker's menu provides a picture and description of every animal on the African Safari. The picture helps with identification, and the description details identifying markings, traits, and habits.
Porter
The porter's menu displays pictures of all available firearms. It shows their appearance, accuracy, distance, and damage compared to other firearms, and indicates which firearms are best suited for different animals.
Guide
The guide's menu is where you select hunts and get country information.
•
You will see the Hunt schedule, a list of areas to hunt and the animal for each.
•
Hunts are displayed on a timeline, showing the time allotted for each mission. Be mindful of time usage to complete all missions for the day.
Another option is to gather information about the country by pressing the country info button. This provides a general description of the country, landscapes, and landmarks.
You can also skip to the next day of the hunt from the guide menu. You can skip days and return to previous days to complete hunts. You can skip until day 14 (Easy), day 10 (Medium), or day 7 (Hard). After the last day, you can no longer earn Safari points for hunts.
Instant Hunt
This is the pick-up-and-play mode. Selecting Instant Hunt places you immediately in a hunting area with a randomly assigned animal objective.
Unlike Safari Hunt, you do not have access to the hunter's PDA for maps or tips from the tracker and porter. In Instant Hunt, you track and hunt the animal on your own.
Open Safari
Open Safari allows you to revisit and hunt specific areas or animals you enjoyed. This mode is only accessible after successfully completing the region in regular Safari Hunt.
Big Five
In this unlockable mode, you can choose one of the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, or elephant) and immediately hunt it. Hunts in this mode do not contribute to your regular Safari Hunt progress.
Wing Shooting
In wing shooting mode, you hunt African birds simulation-style. You flush birds from their habitat and attempt to shoot them down. Only shotguns are available, as rifles are not used for birds.
There are three wing shooting modes:
•
Practice: Practice shooting birds in different countries. Points accumulate for reference but do not count towards tournament scores.
•
Tournament: You are timed as you hunt in each of the five countries, aiming to take down as many specified birds as possible. Points are awarded for birds taken within the timeframe, and you can try to beat the tournament record.
•
Hot Seat: This is the game's only multiplayer mode. You choose the number of players and rounds. Players take turns on one controller, collecting points by shooting birds in each region.
Options
The options page allows you to control game settings:
•
Adjust music and sound effects volume in audio.
•
Choose your in-game control set (three options) in controls.
•
Turn the HUD, hit camera, and autosave on or off in the gameplay section.

Playing the Game
From the main Safari Hunt Mode, after choosing your settings and hunt from the Hunt Schedule, you will be placed in the selected region with your chosen animal. The first thing to identify is the "Heads-Up Display" or HUD.
HUD
•
Center Screen: If armed, you will see the firearm's reticle with crosshairs and two colored rings. These rings change from green to red in the presence of a dangerous animal or when your scope is centered on your target.
•
Top Right Corner: Your compass. It shows the four major directions for navigation.
•
A colored dot with a detection ring appears when an animal is in range.
•
Red dots indicate dangerous animals that are not your target. Shooting them incurs penalties.
•
Green dots indicate target animals.
•
Other compass indicators include boundaries, steep terrain, and water landmarks.
•
Bottom Right Corner: A meter indicating your current gun.
•
Far left: Rounds of ammunition remaining.
•
Middle: Shots left before reloading.
•
Bottom: Green meter showing Hunter Sense accumulation.
•
Bottom Left Corner: A gauge measuring your health statistics. The red bar at the bottom fills up, showing accumulated and used adrenaline.
Items & Weapons
PDA
The PDA assists you during the hunt by providing a map, your animal objective, and allowing communication with the tracker, porter, or guide. It also tracks and checks off animals on your safari list.
.243
Known for excellent accuracy and slight recoil, this rifle is best for small antelope-sized game and recommended for beginners.
.270
Light and accurate at long ranges, this rifle is best for medium-sized antelope.
.300
Similar to the .270 but heavier, this rifle is also known for long ranges but has significant recoil and is suited for heartier animals than antelope.
.338
Best for large antelope and similar-sized game, this heavy rifle has strong recoil and is perfect for larger game.
.375
The African standard hunting rifle, this powerful rifle with a scope is perfect for soft-skinned but speedy game and is the legal minimum caliber for dangerous game in Africa.
.416
This large and heavy gun is strictly for big game that will hunt back, capable of knocking down deadly game with a less than perfect shot.
.505
A high caliber, big game rifle for heavy game, it should not be used for anything smaller than a rhino to maintain kill integrity.
.600
The biggest and most powerful gun available, it is reserved strictly for the largest land mammals ranging from 4-8 tons, such as the elephant.
12 GA
The most common shotgun for hunting birds, especially waterfowl, it has greater recoil than the .410 and is ideal for shooting larger birds from further ranges.
410 O/U
Considered a beginner's shotgun due to its little recoil, light weight, and easy handling, it must be used at close range and is ineffective beyond 30 yards.
.500 Magnum
The biggest handgun in the world with extremely powerful recoil, it should only be used for defense against the biggest African game and can take down an elephant with a perfect shot.
.454 Magnum
Slightly more powerful than the .44 magnum with more power and recoil, it is suggested for defense against big cats but requires incredible accuracy in close-range, dangerous situations.
.44 Magnum
Perfect for short-range shooting of medium to small antelope, this popular big game handgun has poor accuracy over distance and low fire-power, and should only be used for close-range self-defense.
South Africa
The southernmost country in Africa, incredibly diverse with landscapes ranging from dry deserts to lush tropical forests, including the Karoo plateau, forest areas, mountains, and grasslands.
Namibia
Mostly dry and known for its relation to the Kalahari Desert, it also features areas around the Orange River rich in big game, the dry grassy areas of Damaraland, and the ancient Petrified Forest.
