The White Flanked Impala is a rare color variation of the common African impala. Instead of the usual reddish-brown coat, this variant showcases striking white markings along its flanks.
While the common impala is widespread across many parts of Africa, the White Flanked variant is primarily found in managed reserves and private game farms, mainly due to its rarity.
The most evident difference lies in the coat. The White Flanked Impala has distinctive white markings on its sides, contrasting the regular reddish hue of the common impala.
While hunting is possible year-round, the cooler months from May to September are optimal, as impalas are generally more active during this period.
A medium caliber rifle, such as a .243 or .308, is suitable given the impala's size.
The spot-and-stalk approach is frequently employed. It's especially effective during early mornings or late afternoons when the animals tend to be most active.
The name originates from the distinct white stripes that run along the animal's flanks, making it stand out from its common counterpart.
Due to its rarity and specific habitats, the White Flanked Impala's population is mainly stable within managed reserves and farms but isn't as widespread as the common impala.
The meat is tender and rich in flavor, comparable to standard impala meat, but some hunters believe it offers a slightly distinct taste.
Absolutely. Hunting a White Flanked Impala provides both a challenge due to its rarity and a rewarding experience, especially for those looking to expand their trophy collection.
