Nyala Hunting in Southern Africa

Nyala are the hidden gem of Africa’s spiral horn family. With their chestnut coats, vertical white stripes, and lyre-shaped horns, Nyala bulls are both elegant and elusive—found in riverine thickets and lush valleys.

Why Hunt Nyala in Africa?

• Striking Appearance: Deep colors and dramatic horn shape make this a top mount.
  
  
• Quiet and Elusive: Often ghost through thick brush like a shadow.
  
  
• Best in Coastal & Riverine Areas: Thrive in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and Mozambique’s delta systems.
  
  

Hunting Methods

• Waterhole Ambushes: Wait for bulls to appear at known drinking spots.
  
  
• Still-Hunting: Silent stalks through river valleys and forest edge.
  
  
• Low-Light Activity: Most movement happens early morning and late evening.

Nyala hunting is slow, deliberate, and highly rewarding—a spiral horn species not to overlook.
