What is the Spanish Ibex Grand Slam?
The Spanish Ibex Grand Slam involves harvesting all four native subspecies of the Spanish ibex, each found in different mountain ranges across the country. These subspecies are:
-
Gredos Ibex – Known for their large, lyre-shaped horns and found in central Spain's Gredos Mountains.
-
Beceite Ibex – Located in northeastern Spain, recognized by wide, sweeping horns.
-
Southeastern Ibex – Typically smaller, but with impressive horn curvature; found in southern Spain's Almeria and Granada provinces.
-
Ronda Ibex – The smallest of the four, found only in the Ronda Mountains of Andalusia.
Completing the Grand Slam means you'll hunt all 4 Spanish ibex, traveling across varied terrain and climate zones — from snow-dusted peaks to sunlit Mediterranean cliffs.

Best Time for Your Ibex Hunting Safari in Spain
The hunting season for trophy ibex in Spain runs from October through May, with peak times depending on species:
-
November–January: Rut season for Gredos and Beceite ibex, best for seeing mature males in action.
-
February–May: Ideal for Southeastern and Ronda ibex, with milder conditions and excellent access.
Most hunters complete the full Spanish Ibex Grand Slam Safari in 10 to 14 days, but it can be split across two trips based on preference.
Cost of the Grand Slam Ibex Spain Safari
The Spanish Ibex Grand Slam is a premium hunting adventure that comes with a range of costs depending on several factors such as trophy size, terrain, accommodation quality, and whether the hunt is completed in a single trip or spread across seasons. On average, hunters can expect to invest between $27,000 and $35,000 USD to complete the Grand Slam Ibex Spain, which includes all four subspecies: Gredos, Beceite, Southeastern, and Ronda ibex.
Individually, the Gredos ibex tends to be the most expensive, typically costing between $8,500 and $12,000, due to its iconic status and limited hunting areas. The Beceite ibex follows with an average cost of $6,000 to $9,500, while the Southeastern ibex and Ronda ibex are often priced between $5,500 and $9,000 each. Prices generally reflect horn size, exclusivity of the concession, and physical difficulty of the terrain.
Most ibex hunting packages include guiding services, hunting permits, trophy field preparation, full lodging and meals, and in-country transport. Hunters are typically picked up from the airport and guided throughout their entire journey. However, there are additional expenses to consider. These may include international airfare, trophy shipping and export fees (which can range from $1,000 to $2,000 per animal), taxidermy, and tips for guides and staff, which are commonly around $300 to $500. Non-hunting companions can usually join the trip for an extra fee, which varies depending on the outfitter.
