0753ex Topi in Maasai Mara
Topi resemble hartebeest but have a darker coloration and lack sharply angled horns. They have elongated heads, a distinct hump at the base of the neck, and reddish brown bodies with dark purple patchings on their upper legs. They also have a mask-like dark coloration on the face. Their horns are ringed and lyrate shaped.[3] Their coats are made of short, shiny hairs. Wikipedia
Our guide also called these beauties "Blue Jeans antelope" , based on the darker coloration on their legs and flanks.
This is a look back at our 2018 safari. More photos from this amazing trip can be seen in my Safari Album www.flickr.com/photos/25171569@N02/albums/72157669809103977
