As soon as Wifezilla recovers from my last hunt, I'm thinking that the next animal that I want to hunt is a Nyala. What areas of what countries, offer: the best opportunity for a shot at a trophy Nyala? the best trophy Nyala? the best price on a Nyala hunt?

I was just in RSA in July/August and took a kid along to do his first hunting. He got a nice Nyala in the pangola area of Kwa-zulu. We saw a number of them every day. You might want to contact Pieter Kriel at hunt@huntinginafrica.co.za, or Kevin Thomas at buffhunt@mweb.co.za. I'm sure either will be able to help you with Nyala | |||

Nixon Dzingai at SSG Safaris would be my choice. Deo Vindice, Don Sons of Confederate Veterans Black Horse Camp #780 | |||

Frank, Another vote for Coutada 11 in Mozambique with Mark Haldane's Zambeze Delta Safaris. I have hunted nyala in the lowveldt of Zim and Kwa-Zulu Natal and hands down the best nyala I have seen were in this concession. Not only long horns but heavy! You mentioned you like wild Africa better than the more civilized Africa... this is it. 45 minutes by charter out of Beira to get to the area. No fences. Lots of game.... and buffalo. Buff in the swamps and buff in the suni forests! Hard to beat my friend. I was there a year ago this week! Man I miss it looking back at my pics...  On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

+1 for Natal some great nyalas there and lots of bush pigs too could make for a great hunt. Thanks!

The next time I hunt nyala, it will either be in Coutada 11, or with Gary Kelly in KZN. Gary Kelly has what is arguably the best area in KZN, and has been doing it longer than just about anyone else. On the other hand, the Mozambique Coutadas are kicking out some huge nyala to go along with superb other species....and you can hunt buffalo too! | |||

Thanks guys for the information here and in the PMs. I just got back from RSA a week ago so I have to build up some points with Wifezilla before I book another trip but this information gives me a good base for my research.

I would suggest you look at Durban for free range Nyala. You should be able to see up to 30 a day in some areas. Try Lake Safaris based out of Durban. Trevor Lake kind of specialized in Free Range Nyala. http://www.lakesafaris.com/ >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "You've got the strongest hand in the world. That's right. Your hand. The hand that marks the ballot.

Bwanamrm and Biebs, you guys are killing me with the photos of those beautiful Nyala. I've been married for over 36 years but if Wifezilla divorces me, it will be because of those pictures.

Hunting in SA i would say KZN is your best area for nyala. Good luck on the planning Best Regards Gerrit Jansen van Vuuren Bos en Dal Safaris www.bosendal.com Tel: +275158307 email: gerrit@ehw.co.za | |||
