Where to hunt Egyptian Goose
The Egyptian goose, with its striking plumage and distinctive appearance, is native to sub-Saharan Africa, and is also found in the valley of the Nile in Egypt. These geese thrive in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, lakes, rivers, and agricultural fields, making them a common and rewarding target for hunters. In South Africa, Egyptian goose hunting is particularly popular, with the Western Cape, Limpopo, and KwaZulu-Natal regions offering prime opportunities. Egyptian geese have been introduced to parts of Europe, including the UK, the Netherlands, and parts of Germany, where they can be hunted under regulated conditions.
Распределение цен
Several African outfitters offer Egyptian geese as a part of a general waterfowl, bird hunting, or small game package, or as an add-on to the regular plains game hunts. Day rates for such hunts typically range from $250 to $500.
When to hunt Egyptian Goose?
Egyptian goose hunting in South Africa is available year-round. The best hunting occurs during the dry season, from May to September, when water sources are limited, and the geese concentrate in wetlands and fields.

The ways of taking Egyptian geese are the same as for other goose hunts. A common approach is field hunting, where hunters use blinds and decoy spreads in agricultural fields frequented by feeding geese. In wetlands or near water bodies, hunters often use pass shooting, positioning themselves along known flight paths to intercept geese traveling between feeding and roosting areas. The Egyptian goose is one of the smallest goose species, not much bigger than a mallard, so unless you hope to encounter bigger geese as well, the same shot sizes as for ducks are appropriate.
Why hunt Egyptian Goose?
The Egyptian goose is a unique and visually stunning waterfowl species. Their vibrant plumage, featuring shades of brown, chestnut, and cream, creates an eye-catching trophy, while their wariness and agility offer a satisfying challenge in the field. Beyond the thrill of the hunt, Egyptian geese provide excellent meat for the table, adding to their appeal. Hunting these birds in Africa’s scenic landscapes also immerses hunters in the beauty of the continent, with opportunities to experience diverse ecosystems and other wildlife.
