Better be watched by an animal than a nosy man.

This is the most common antelope of the bushveld regions of South Africa. The Impala is preyed upon by most of the large carnivores, and should one of them spot danger, it will snort an alarm and the whole herd will scatter. It is one of the treats offered by nature to see this antelope perform their incredible 3 metre high and 12 metre long leaps.
I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

The impala is one of the most common and most graceful of all Africa’s antelopes. It’s a slender, agile creature, and it can clear formidable obstacles and run at speeds faster than 60km/h. They are fleet runners who can leap up to 10m in length and 3m in height. They use their tremendous speed and agility to avoid predation, and seemingly for pure enjoyment.

When there is nothing else to photograph there is always an Impala to oblige.

I walked to the watering hole before dawn and got comfy under a bush and waited to see what arrived. These shy Impala had no idea I was there! They were having such fun chasing each other around. I was hoping for the Giraffes to come down. I found them a sleep about an hour later.
The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods when available.

This impala has wandered away from his herd. These lovely animals are at the bottom of the food chain for the carnivores so he has to be careful or he will be dinner. Tarangire National park, Tanzania.

The impala is one of the most common and graceful of all Africa’s antelopes. The name ‘Impala’ come from the Zulu language meaning ‘gazelle’. Most young impala are born around mid-day as this is the safest time to give birth since most of their enemies are resting. Half of newborn are killed by predators within the first few weeks of life. Impalas decrease their chances of attack when living in herds, they leap and scatter in all directions when being attacked to confuse the predator.

I always enjoy seeing impaka. They are pretty common throughout the Kruger Park, but the lovely thing is that they are very elegant and because you see quite a few of them you have a few chances to get a better shot. Also they can be quite close at times and in large groups, so you can try to find one that is looking in the right direction. It is difficult to pick where to look sometimes as it is hard to predict their behaviour!
