The peculiar looking Topi is an inhabitant in the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth national park. On a recent drive from Bwindi’s mountains to the main part of Queen Elizabeth national park via Ishasha one of our safari teams met an abundance of Topis by the roadside. Stopping to look the Topis could be studied for a long time as they were crossing the road just in front of the car.
The Topi is an antelope and it lives in a herd. When born they are pale and then develop the special pattern that can be seen on the adults. They are one of the fastest antelopes, being able to reach speeds of 70 km per hour.
