The Limpopo Province of South Africa is widely regarded as the world’s premier destination for trophy Black Impala hunting, making it the perfect location for a once-in-a-lifetime safari.

Unlike many plains game species, Black Impala can be hunted year-round, with no seasonal restrictions. This makes the Black Impala an ideal trophy for hunters planning an African safari at any time of the year.

Home to the Largest Black Impala in the World

The Black Impala hunted on our South African concession are among the largest trophy specimens available anywhere in the world.

Hunters can realistically expect trophies in the 20–26 inch range, making this one of the finest Black Impala destinations globally.

We have been selectively breeding Black Impala for this rare color variant since 2013 on our renowned Witklip and Kudu Valley Concessions, producing exceptional trophy quality year after year.

The Black Impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in southern Africa.

What do Black Impala look like:

The Black Impala is the same body size as a Common Impala, but has a striking pitch black coat, and males have a pair of 20-26 inch horns for trophy adults. They are a color variant of the Common African Impala.

Habitat of the Black Impala:

Black Impala can be found in savannas and light woodlands in South Africa. They are often found in grassy areas with lots of vegetation, and they hide behind tress from predators. While Impalas can survive in arid regions, they’re commonly found near rivers and watering holes. 

Distribution of Black Impala:

Black Impala is a new color variant species of the Common Impala, thus, they are only found currently in South Africa. Black Impala are specifically a rare color morph of Impala.

Black Impala Behavior:

Black Impala are mainly active during cool days, and they rest and feed at night. They’re usually out just after sunrise, and right before sunset. They gather into herd of around 15-100 individuals, and are very territorial when food is plentiful. Female Impala have a gestation period of 6-7 months, and give birth to usually only one offspring at a time.
