What about Nyala?

Question Author

From bantu not zulu - thanks anyway.

Cetti

The Nyala has spiral horns, white stripes on a greyish coat. The name comes from the Zulu Inxala.

Some sites do have the derivation from the Bantu language but most say Zulu and the description fits.

Thanks Cetti - it was my first answer but I couldn't find the zulu connection, I've been searching for ages for an alternative.

nyala is a large antelope, try looking for a type of drum

Daithebus - surely that one is found in central africa?
