When it all comes together, and your cat appears at the bait, you will experience one of the most exhilarating moments of your safari career.

The Lord Derby eland, also known as the giant eland, is the largest antelope species on Earth. But it isn’t just their size that makes them such excellent trophies: these majestic creatures carry incredible spiral horns that can occasionally reach lengths of more than four feet. Adding to their distinctive appearance is a huge hair-fringed dewlap that hangs from their necks. Between the horns above and the dewlaps below, they make for an imposing sight. Lord Derby eland hunting almost always requires active pursuit. These are wary, fast-moving animals that rarely stay in one place for long, and most hunts must be done by tracking on foot. Once tracks are found, the hunters must follow them as speedily as they can manage in order to catch up to the quarry. This can sometimes take days and lead far from the beaten path, making the services of a tried-and-true outfitter or PH absolutely essential

If you believe that it’s the difficulty of the hunt that makes the trophy, thenbongo hunting should be right at the top of your list. These nocturnal antelope run at the slightest sign of danger and are capable of running at high speeds through the thick undergrowth of their home territory. Due to the limited visibility that’s part and parcel into the rainforest hunting safari, the hunter must get in close to get a shot. Blinds are the standard tool of choice for this job. Hunting on foot or with dogs is a great challenge. This is usually done by tracking the bongos shortly after a rainstorm, since bongos usually go out into the open when it rains. Your guides will lead you in a search for tracks in the open areas, then take the pursuit into the jungle. This will require lightning reflexes on your part, as you may only catch a glimpse of your quarry and have a brief moment to take the shot.

The West African buffalo range from reddish orange to a solid black color and different color animals may be encountered in the same herd.
