Imagine yourself on a thrilling safari adventure in South Africa, surrounded by the majestic beauty of the African wilderness. Among the many incredible species you can hunt with Bushmen Safaris, the Nyala stands out as one of the most captivating. This stunning antelope is not only a prized trophy but also a testament to the rich biodiversity of Africa.
The Nyala: A True Marvel of Nature
Native to Zululand, the name "Nyala" translates to "the shifty one" in the Zulu language, reflecting its elusive nature. The male Nyala is a medium-sized antelope with a striking appearance—slender, with a narrow but deep body, and a shaggy, slate-brown coat. Younger males boast up to 14 vertical white stripes on each side, which fade to three or four as they mature. You'll also notice white spots on their hindquarters and cheeks, a white band on the lower neck, and a distinctive white facial chevron. A partially erectile dorsal crest of long hairs runs from the back of the head to the root of the tail, dark brown on the neck and white along the back. A very long, dark mane grows from throat to belly, and the hindquarters are fringed with long dark hairs. The tail is dark brown on top and white underneath, while the lower legs are orange, the ears are large, and only males grow impressive horns.
