The oribi is a small, graceful antelope that thrives in open grasslands and savannas, making the flood plains and parts of Coutada 11’s Delta an ideal habitat. In this environment, they benefit from the rich, grassy expanses that offer plenty of food and space to roam. Coutada 11, part of the broader Zambeze Delta region, is known for its remarkable biodiversity and abundance of wildlife. With its characteristic light build, slender legs, and tawny coat, the oribi is well suited to the open habitats of this region.

Part of the ‘Tiny Ten’; this small antelope is prized by hunters. It thrives in the relatively undisturbed habitat of Coutada 11. Here, healthy populations offer hunters ample opportunities, with the open plains providing good visibility for hunting these agile and wary animals. Despite this, their sharp senses and speed still make them a challenging pursuit. Coutada 11’s conservation efforts have helped sustain these populations, ensuring oribi and other wildlife continue to flourish in this untouched African wilderness.
