Right, now I remember what the guide said about it. Thanks you so much Kibuyu for your time spent on my spottings! I really appreciate it.

Actually Jackson's Hartebeest - larger than kob and with very distinctive horns and body shape.

Thanks Neil. Got to see so many antelopes in Africa!

Great spotting, Pam. I've never seen one of these, but recognise them now because of the coat of arms. Makes sense. Very handsome-looking antelope.
