Kudus are most definitely the larger risk at night. During the day I found them easy enough to see and the one we encountered on the roadway was spotted well before we got there.
What also makes a difference is how accustomed you are to wildlife on the highways in general. I grew up in an area with moose, larger and heavier than a kudu, and collisions with them were usually severe and quite often fatal. White tail deer are prolific where I live now and the more you drive in areas with wildlife the more adept you become at spotting and safely avoiding them.
