Kudu


My favorite African antelope is the kudu. There are two species of kudu. The lesser kudu (tandala ndogo - swahili) and the greater kudu (tandala mkubwa - swahili). The lesser kudu is found from northern Tanzania through Kenya possibly to Somalia. The greater kudu is more widespread frequenting most of eastern and southern Africa. Pictured here is a greater kudu (nhoro - shona) having an early morning breakfast in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.
