The Sable Bulls at Kudu Valley Safari Lodge are in full rut this week. These (2) younger bulls are establishing their dominance to be the next breeder for a group of Sable Cows. It’s not only the Sable Antelope in rut at this time, but also the Kudu, Impala, Wildebeest, Mountain Reedbuck and more. Book your stay at Kudu Valley Safari Lodge in late April or early May to witness this epic action in person!
Supplemental Feed Program
We have our Hydroponic Feed Grow Supplemental feed program up and running at Kudu Valley Safari Lodge. Our program produces 300 kg’s of high protein feed each day to feed the animals on the farm. We also mix this with lucern (alfalfa) and other important minerals to keep the Sable, Kudu, Cape buffalo, Impala and Wildebeest in healthy condition year round.
