Flying Impala

Black-faced Impala - Goas waterhole

Black-faced Impala - Goas waterhole

We drove to Goas waterhole near Halali in Etosha and were watching a group of black-faced impala.


Everything was calm when suddenly something spooked them and they started running in all directions. This one ran in front of us and jumped into the air - I had time to take just one photograph. No time to focus or even think what to do - this is the result.

Hey Anne - very nice photograph, especially for one taken by instinct with no time to think!

Most of my pronking impala have been blurred or I've ended up with half the body chopped off.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
