This Zambian klipspringer was described with deep ochre on the head, neck and back, a white underside, and a broad ochre collar.
Hinton’s 1921 description gives deep ochre on the head, neck and back, strongest on the nape and shoulders. It notes no white preorbital patches, a white underside apart from a broad ochre collar, and hornless females.
A Zambian ecology handbook reports klipspringers living as territorial pairs, often with one recent offspring. In Zambia, territory size is given as about 7–14 ha depending on rainfall; rocky habitat is required, and they are not dependent on drinking water but drink when it is available.
