Information about Ugandan kob

The Ugandan kob is a medium-sized antelope found in the savannas and floodplains of Uganda and neighboring regions. Characterized by its reddish-brown coat, it is known for its striking appearance, with males sporting graceful, lyre-shaped horns that can reach up to 50 cm in length. Females, in contrast, do not have horns and are slightly smaller than males. Ugandan kobs are social animals, often seen in herds, and are known for their agility and speed, which they use to evade predators.

Time for a game drive in Murchison Falls National Park, the biggest national park of Uganda! The park is divided in two by the Nile river: the Southern sector is mainly covered by dense forests, so we do the game drive in the vast savanah plains in the northern sector. Here, you will have the chance to spot many giraffes, elephants, buffalos, Ugandan kobs, warthogs, as well as the mighty lions or, if you're lucky, the elusive leopard.
