.... I thought all eland was grey :oops:
Hey, Amoli! They come in a variety of colours, with mostly the older bulls being grey. Eland are probably one of the most widespread of African antelope, so colours vary and stripes may even appear. The facial markings on this one are very pronounced.

The largish ears and black tipped tail would seem to point at Slender Mongoose?
Mellers Mongoose also has a black tipped tail, but don't think they are in the Djuma area?

Thank you
Meller's mongoose is reported for Sabi Sand, but I would go for Slender, too - looking at the posture with the curved tail that I have seen often
