Springbok are found in southern Africa, mainly in Namibia, South Africa and Botswana. They live mainly in dry savannahs, steppes and semi-desert areas, where they graze on grasses and shrubs.

Springbok hunting:
Springbok hunting is popular among tourists visiting South African safaris, but is regulated to prevent over-exploitation of the population. The species is also kept on farms, where it is used for trophy hunting. In areas with protected populations, hunting is restricted to ensure their conservation.
