About The Animal

The Black Impala is a rare color variation of the common Impala (Aepyceros melampus), characterized by its distinctive dark or black coat. This unique pigmentation sets it apart from the typical reddish-tan coloration of standard impalas. The Black Impala retains the species’ physical traits, including the sleek, athletic build and the impressive, lyre-shaped horns in males, which can reach lengths of up to 90 cm. Their agility and speed are as remarkable as those of their more common counterparts.

These antelopes are typically found in savannah and light woodland environments, where they graze and browse on a variety of grasses and leaves. Black Impalas, like the standard color variety, are social animals and often seen in herds.

2. The Hunting Experience:

Hunting the Black Impala in South Africa offers a unique and challenging experience due to the rarity of this color morph. It requires a blend of patience, precision, and a deep understanding of impala behavior, as these animals are vigilant and fast-moving.

The expertise of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is invaluable in such hunts. They provide insights into locating and ethically hunting these rare animals, using appropriate stalking and tracking techniques to enhance the hunting experience.
