About The Animal
The Nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) is a beautiful and medium-sized antelope, renowned for its striking sexual dimorphism. The males are characterized by their dark brown or slate-grey coats, marked with faint vertical white stripes and a bushy tail with a white underside. They boast impressive spiral horns, which can grow up to 83 cm in length. Females, on the other hand, have a reddish-brown coat with more prominent white stripes and no horns.
Nyalas are typically found in dense bushland and forested areas, near water sources. They are primarily browsers, feeding on leaves, flowers, and fruits, but can also graze on grasses. These antelopes are known for their elusive nature, often remaining hidden in thick vegetation.
Hunting Nyala in South Africa is a test of stealth and patience, given the animal’s preference for dense vegetation. The hunt often involves careful stalking, utilizing the natural cover to get close to these wary antelopes.
The expertise and local knowledge of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team are crucial in these hunts. They provide invaluable guidance on tracking techniques and help in identifying signs of Nyala presence. The team ensures that ethical hunting practices are adhered to, respecting the Nyala and its habitat.
