Red Duiker
(Cephalophus rufilatis)

Red duikers are found across the African continent. They prefer forested areas and riverine thickets within the savannah.

The red duiker is a bright orange-red antelope with pale grey to black on the face, back and legs. The males stand up to 65cm tall, and weigh up to 14kg. The sexes are very similar, with the males horns being longer.

They feed on fruit, flowers and foliage from a number of species of riverine trees.

Red duicker tend to be seen singly or in pairs. They can breed year round. If disturbed, they will emit a shrill bark while bounding for cover.

One has to be watchful and observant when hunting red duiker. We welcome our client to join us on a red duiker hunt here at South African Hunting Safaris.
