Sable Antelope

Sable Antelope

The Sable Antelope is an incredibly beautiful animal with its glossy black coat and white under belly. We can understand why its Afrikaans name is (Swartwitpens) directly translating to “black white belly”. Its distinctive horns arch backwards and can grow up to 1,2m (4ft) in length in mature males, where the females have shorter and slimmer horns. This majestic Antelope is sought after by all major hunters and is a pinnacle in any hunting fanatic’s life.

Kudu
Kudu

The Kudu is one of Africa’s most beautiful creatures and have spectacular horns that can make almost 3 spirals when fully grown. The Khoisan believe God blessed the Kudu with a white stripe over its face, reaching from 1 eye to the other because they are extremely illusive and so good at hiding. But this stripe enables moonlight to reflect on the stripe allowing better vision at night.
