antelopes of south Africa

[Beverley]

What is an antelope of southern Africa with lyre-shaped horns and deep-reddish brown coat, whose name starts with the initial 'B'?

The only one I can find is the Bontebok - a very rare and endangered one.

Could you be after the Bongo Antelope:

Can be found in Kenya - not sure if that just creeps into Southern Africa ?

[Cetti]

Beautiful creatures aren't they?

Beverley, you wouldn't happen to know the number of letters required for this beast, only this would help enormously.
