Sambar

Kiwi Safaris - SambarAfter wapiti (elk), sambar are the second largest deer in New Zealand. They are extremely cunning and can live very close to human habitation.  It is common for a stag to lie in thick brush, and let a hunter walk right by, moving off once the danger lessens.

Hunting Sambar with Kiwi Safaris

A trip to the North Island will enable you to include sika, rusa and sambar deer.  These three deer species are all of Asian origin, preferring the more temperate conditions of the northern island of New Zealand. 

Sambar can be hunted from April to November and carry strong thick 3x3 antlers.
