I love the time in-between game drives while on our African safaris. This is when I’m free to walk around camp on my own searching for whatever wildlife I can find. At our camp in the Ol Pajeta Conservancy of Kenya, there was a water hole in front of all the tents. Impala were a frequent visitor, along with zebra and waterbuck. I was able to get into my favorite position (on the ground) to capture some nice low-level shots of the action. Impala are without a doubt the most common mammal species that we see, but still a treat to see them and have the opportunity to photograph them in all sorts of settings. This was a young male, hanging around the periphery of a much larger male’s harem — never really challenging, but perhaps scheming a strategy for a later date. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/3200th of a second.

Super nice, image! I love the beautiful “”Kodachrome” green & blue hues that enhance the colors of the gorgeous impala. Very impressive, Sean!
I like how the impala pops amongst the muted blues and greens.
Incredible!
