Africa Savannah serves as the secondary open-world reserve in Hunting Season, developed by Josima Studios on Roblox. Players must reach player level 15 to select and enter this African safari reserve from the main hunting grounds menu.
The map features wide grassy plains, scattered dead trees, elevated hunting towers, and water clearings that present open sightlines compared to the dense timber of Boulder Creek.
Map Access and Outpost Navigation
Entering the Africa Savannah requires selecting the location on the map select screen once account level 15 is achieved. Progressing through the map relies on discovering camps on foot or by vehicle to register spawn points.
| Feature | Details | In-Game Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve Name | Africa Savannah | Level 15 |
| Primary Outposts | The Gunsmith, Hamstrom Milstrom | Discovered on foot / ATV |
| Travel System | Fast Travel | Requires prior discovery of the location |
| Mobility Option | Four-wheeler ATV | Available at outposts or via Permanent ATV gamepass (399 Robux) |
Fast travel coordinates remain locked until a player travels to the site. Once reached, outpost markers switch to orange status, allowing hunters to spawn or travel directly between outposts and personal lodges. Traversal across the long open distances can be handled either on foot or by purchasing an ATV directly at designated outpost structures.
Savannah Wildlife and Spawning Rules
Africa Savannah hosts a unique roster of big game animals that behave differently from the solitary deer of Boulder Creek. Many herbivores graze in dense herds, while predators can turn hostile toward players.
Lions and Lionesses
Lions roam the tall grass and open dirt roads. Both male lions and lionesses react aggressively when shot or when hunters close the distance too quickly. An alerted lion will sprint directly at the player to attack rather than flee. Maintaining distance and tracking movement through scope optics prevents close-quarters ambush.
Leopards
Leopards are exclusive to the Africa Savannah map and can only be hunted during the nighttime cycle. Because servers allow players to vote to skip night, finding leopards requires keeping the night cycle active. Harvesting a leopard with a score exceeding 300 qualifies for a Diamond rating. Leopards also charge when threatened, making high vantage points advantageous.
Plains Zebras
Plains Zebras travel in open herds across the flats. Trophy weights observed on zebras range from roughly 230 pounds to over 810 pounds.
Blue Wildebeest
Blue Wildebeest gather in large packs near watering holes and dead tree groves. Wildebeest run in pack formations when spooked, making them easy to spot from distance across the flat brush.
Spotted Hyenas
Spotted Hyenas operate in packs and generate a distinct vocal cackle across the savannah plains. They often trail near wildebeest groups and can be tracked using scent leads on the interface.
Tracking, Shot Placement, and Gear
Tracking game on the open plains relies on the compass bar located at the top of the screen. Active leads point straight toward targeted quarry.
A loud, hollow audio crack plays upon bullet impact whenever a shot strikes a vital organ. Players can inspect shot placement on the harvest screen by toggling between the standard body view and the X-ray view.
Trophies are evaluated through six progressive badge tiers:
- Bronze Animal
- Silver Animal
- Gold Animal
- Diamond Animal
- Ruby Animal
- Mythical Animal
Hunters can preserve harvested game for display mounts inside their customizable hunting lodge. Players utilizing trained hunting dogs can instruct their hound to follow blood trails or scent paths when downed targets run into deep grass before collapsing.
Available game passes that affect reserve gameplay include the Thermal Scope (379 Robux) for night scanning, Hunting Towers (149 Robux) for vantage platform access, and Enhanced Hunter (239 Robux) to display trail distances, variants, and rarity odds faster.
