Majestic adult lechwe proudly boast a stature ranging from 90 to 100 cm at the shoulder, carrying a weight that gracefully fluctuates between 50 to 120 kg. In the symphony of the savannah, these creatures don a golden brown ensemble adorned with pristine white bellies. Among the lechwe, the males take center stage with a darker palette, showcasing subtle variations in hue and the intriguing dance of blackish patterns on their front legs, chest, and body—unique signatures dictated by their distinct subspecies.
