Sable (Hippotragus niger)
We saw many magnificent sable antelopes in Chobe. Even young calves have horns.
Roan (Hippotragus equinus)
Impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus)
Impalas are the most common antelope. Their coats are tri-colored.
Puku (Kobus vardoni)
Pukus look like furry impalas. The animal on the left is an impala. The others are pukus.
Greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros)
The male greater kudu has magnificent horms.
Red lechwe (Kobus leche lechwe)
Red lechwes are common in the Okavango delta, but shy.
Tsessebe (Damaliscus lunatus)
The tsessebe looks a lot like a topi, except for the horns.
Blue wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus)
Blue wildebeests are large but shy.
Steenbok (Raphicerus campestris)
