Greater Kudu are the largest antelope on Thanda Safari. A average adult male weighs around 250kg (~550lbs). They are predominantly browsers, which means they eat mainly tree material.
Kudu are rather shy and tend to run away as soon as one stops the safari vehicle in their vicinity. That is why I like to observe them from a large distance, which means that I am remaining in their comfort zone, not disrupting their natural behavior.
Kudu are are a spiral horned antelope and have two closely related ‘cousins’ in our area. Nyala and Bushbuck are much smaller, but are often found in the same habitat as Kudu and they are also mainly browsers.
