Impala Hunting in Zimbabwe
The impala is the antelope you'll see every day in the bush, and one of the best first trophies of any African safari. Picking out a truly old ram from a nervous herd is harder than it looks.

How We Hunt Impala
Many Eyes
Impala live in herds, and with dozens of animals watching, a stalk is easily spoiled. We use cover and wind carefully to get within range of the ram.
Judging a Ram
A mature ram has long, lyre-shaped horns with thick bases and tips that turn up and in. Your PH will pick him out of the herd for you.

Calibre, Season and Area
Any good plains game calibre from .270 upwards is enough; shot placement matters more than power.
