Reporting Date: 2/4/2012
The social system of Topi antelop is highly variable. In most places males hold territories with harems of upto 10 females, but in the Maasi Mara National Reserve males gather on breeding- season display grounds; females visit these " leks" to select their mates.
On full day game drive Daniel and his guests saw a lot but the guests' highlight of the day was the assembly of the Topis.
