A large East African antelope, also known as a hartebeest.
From Bantu languages of East Africa, where 'ganda' or similar terms refer to wild bovines. The word entered English through naturalist observations and trade with East African regions.
The ganda is so tough it can survive in dry savannas where most antelope would starve—its Bantu name was basically the local word for 'the animal that survives here,' and explorers just kept that name!
