I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

The impala (/ɪmˈpɑːlə, -ˈpælə/, Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa.
The Photo was taken in the Kruger National Park, South Africa
Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. 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 (whenever available). An annual, three-week-long rut takes place toward the end of the wet season, typically in May. Rutting males fight over dominance, and the victorious male courts female in oestrus. Gestation lasts six to seven months, following which a single calf is born and immediately concealed in cover. Calves are suckled for four to six months; young males—forced out of the all-female groups—join bachelor herds, while females may stay back. (Wikipedia)

I'm moving the location of my study and could be "off line" for a while. I wish all my Flickr friends a happy, prosperous and healthy new year.
I love seeing those long legs on the young ones. Nature makes certain that if you have to run shortly after birth you have a fighting chance.

I was up before dawn, to go to the watering hole. I got well hidden before any visitors arrived. The Impala are amongst the most skittish of all antelopes.
I was well pleased not to disturb them!

The impala or rooibok (aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. Two subspecies are recognised—the grassland-dwelling common impala (sometimes referred to as the Kenyan impala), and the larger and darker black-faced impala, which lives in slightly more arid, scrubland environments. The impala reaches 70–92 cm at the shoulder and weighs 40–76 kg. It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 45–92 cm long.
Kruger National Park is a South African National Park and one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It covers an area of 19,623 km2 in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in northeastern South Africa, and extends 360 km from north to south and 65 km from east to west.

Chevrolet Impala. 1964.

How bizarre is this?
How difficult this must be to drive in Sydney!!

Impala are a common sight in eastern and southern Africa. They are one of the main prey animals for the big cats in those areas. I find them quite beautiful. Only the males have horns.

Thanks a lot, everyone, for stopping by, for looking my work, for your comments and likes! Always appreciated!
Wild South Africa
Kruger National Park
Although the most populous antelope in the Kruger National Park, it remains one of the most beautiful animals to observe.
Impalas are unfortunately one of the most commonly hunted antelopes by hunting safaris in South Africa and are also the second most popular species harvested for biltong. Poaching along the outskirts and even within protected areas combined with aggro-pastoral development, is threatening stable populations.
For me it is one of my favorite subjects to photograph.
The impala herds in Matusadona National Park seem ubiquitous. But I always still love photographing them. Seen on the shores of Lake Kariba, Matusadona NP, Zimbabwe

The coming days I will be posting some pictures of my trip to South Africa in 2015. I hope you enjoy them :-)
Thank you very much for all your faves and I will react on your given comments as soon as possible
