All done, thanks for reading and I hope the information helps.

If I have missed an animal or have the info incorrect, please feel free to chime in.
 
Justin, this will be excellent reference for guys planning their safaris!
 
Learned something else - I've always thought of a bontebok as a bigger blesbuck. Oops!!!
 
Thanks for posting Justin. This thread should be made a Sticky.
 
Red lechwe? It's a nice list for sure. Maybe a sitatunga, added to the list?

Thanks for posting this! Of my 4 tiny guys (blue duiker, common duiker, oribi and Vaal rhebok) all will make RW. My mountain reedbuck would too if it was included.

Thanks again!
 
Great post, good info!
 
Hi Guys,

Just wondering if this thread has been of any use as a quick reference to anybody or helped make a decision on a target species?

Regards
