The name ‘Impala’ come from the Zulu language meaning ‘gazelle’. It is one of the most common and most graceful of all Africa’s antelopes. A slender, agile creature, it can clear formidable obstacles and run at speeds faster than 60km/h...they use their tremendous speed and agility to avoid predation, and seemingly for pure enjoyment. Most young impala are born around mid-day as this is the safest time to give birth since most of their enemies are resting.
