Hunting methods

Topi is normally hunted spot and stalk from the vehicle or by walk and stalk. They are often found near permanent water in the late afternoon and prefer relatively open habitats. Topi is often spotted from the truck while driving around. Once sighted your PH will assess the animals for a suitable trophy and then plan your stalk once the vehicle has been moved out of sight.

Why hunt Topi?

Topi often uses termite mounds as lookout points thus making for a challenging approach in an open area. Although these animals do not have the most impressive horns, they have the most beautiful reddish-brown to purple-red coats with dark patches on their face, upper forelegs, hips and thighs. You may be tempted to skull mount your trophy and rather display the skin which makes for a rather beautiful rug.
