Welcome to Kudu Consulting

The greater kudu, scientifically called Tragelaphus strepsiceros, is widely acknowledged as an iconic and aesthetically pleasing antelope species indigenous to Southern Africa. The nomenclature “kudu” originates from the region’s native Khoikhoi language. The taxonomic nomenclature is of Greek origin, where “Tragos” denotes a he-goat, “elaphos” signifies a deer, “Strephis” conveys ‘twisting’, and “Keras” represents ‘horn’. 

Despite their substantial physique, these antelopes exhibit an elegant build and are distinguished by their extraordinary leaping proficiency, effortlessly surmounting fences and other obstacles. The horns of a mature bull kudu possess two and a half twists, with a potential straightened length of up to 180cm. Male kudus are notably non-aggressive and are characterised by their tranquil demeanour.
