The impala (Aepyceros melampus) is a medium-sized antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of the genus Aepyceros. The impala reaches 70 - 92 centimetres at the shoulder and weighs 40 - 76 kg. It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre-shaped horns are 45 - 92 centimetres long.
Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography. Three distinct social groups can be observed: the territorial males, bachelor herds and female herds. The impala is known for two characteristic leaps that constitute an anti-predator strategy. Browsers as well as grazers, impala feed on monocots, dicots, forbs, fruits and acacia pods (whenever available).
The impala is found in woodlands and sometimes on the interface (ecotone) between woodlands and savannahs; it inhabits places close to water. 

This lovely Mother & daughter Impala were photographed on a early morning game drive in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
