We have hundreds of species of animals that can be classified as varmints. The most common are dassies (Hyrax), rabbits, springhare, ground squirrels, mongooses, velvet monkeys, baboons, black backed jackal, caracal, cape fox and African wildcat. We include varmint hunting in every plains game safari.
