This Nyala bull is an excellent reason to go back. I would say 30"-31".
The bell shape is similar to the one 28" attached below, but the tips are flared significantly more.

I passed on dozens of trophy size Nyala on a 10 hunt in Mozambique October 2017 before I finally settle of this 30 1/2" bull. ZDS had tremendous numbers of big bulls. Saw many shooters every day.

I have heard that there are some exceptional nyala in Mozambique! It's free range too!

Same property in Zululand, taken two weeks apart. First bull, 28.25" with a very nice bell shape and the second came in on 27.75", the wide horns can be quite misleading.

I took this nyala in Mpumalanga, near to the border with Limpopo. The trophy is 28 1/2 inches

Yes at ZDS no fences there. I seen several shooter Nyala every day but held out for this 30-1/2" one. I passed on 4 or 5 that were in the 29" range. I primarily went to Mozambique to hunt buffalo where I did take 2, but I enjoyed hunting Nyala in the sand Forrest more. I would go back to ZDS just for the free ranging plains game. Amazing place.

I can also recommend ZDS, just back from 11 days there and it's just an amazing place to hunt, I took buffalo, a fantastic Nyala and great warthog.
We were over the full moon, so Nyala were a little slow apparently, probably seen 15 over 27 28, inch and took a wonderful one around 30.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
