History & Background

The blesbuck (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) is a distinct antelope species native to South Africa’s highveld grasslands. Its name comes from the Afrikaans word “bles”, meaning blaze, referring to the broad white facial stripe that runs from forehead to nose. Once threatened by overhunting, the species has recovered thanks to conservation and game farming.
