They have a unique adaptation in the form of elongated, webbed hooves that allow them to move easily through swampy or flooded areas. Common Lechwe are known for their distinct golden brown coats with white underbellies and their upward-curving horns.

The Common Lechwe, with its elegant, lyre-shaped horns and unique adaptations for waterlogged habitats, is a pursuit of both beauty and challenge. Its predilection for marshy terrains means that serious hunters have the opportunity to engage in a unique hunt that blends strategy with immersion in nature.
We at Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters usher earnest hunters into the floodplains and swamps of central Africa, particularly the wetlands of Botswana, Zambia, and Namibia. These terrains not only resonate with the essence of the Lechwe but also encapsulate the untouched beauty of African landscapes.
While Lechwe are present throughout the year, the drier periods often amplify the chances of encounters, as these creatures tend to congregate around remaining water sources.
To maximize your hunt:
Absolutely. Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters can seamlessly integrate a Common Lechwe hunt with pursuits of other iconic African species, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching safari for the serious hunter.
Given the Lechwe's affinity for wet terrains, be prepared for wading and trekking in marshlands. We ensure our hunts are approachable for a range of fitness levels, guaranteeing exhilaration without compromise.
Embracing a hunt with CBEO is embracing tradition, ethics, and a genuine reverence for nature. Serious hunters seeking more than a conquest — those yearning for a connection, a memory, and an immersive African tale — will find their aspirations met with us.

We understand that a hunt is an investment and we are committed to ensuring our clients get the best possible return - in experience, satisfaction, and the thrill of the hunt.
