Kobus kob cf. thomasi
The kob (Kobus kob) is an antelope found across sub-Saharan Africa
The northern section of Murchison Falls national park where these were seen, contains savanna and borassus palms, acacia trees and riverine woodland.
Impala is only found in S Uganda, so this beast from Murchison has to be a kob.
thanks Neil. Yes, I loved Murchison Falls, more for the nature and butterflies than the big wildlife, I'm afraid! Have better photos of Impala from Swaziland which I'll post later...
Nice shot, Pam. He's a big fellow. Brings back lots of memories. Would love to have seen Murchison Falls too.
