Hi Madeline, I think you might have the Giant Sable Antelope here. This is a big boy! Great series! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Sable_Antelope

I spotted this close to where I saw the buffalo. I was on an African safari in Botswana. The guide said he rarely saw these kinds of antelope and told us we were lucky.
