Where is Limpopo tented camp Johan???
And did you see it this year august the 6th?

He looks just like the one I saw on July 17 in the same location, just between the tented camp and the protected vegitation area going toward the waterhole hide. I am having trouble uploading a picture but will keep trying. He must frequent that area as it has less of a predator problem than perhaps closer to the river or the hide itself.

Guys,

Which park are we talking about?

KNP?

Or Mapungubwe???

We saw it in Mapungubwe

Gregor, the Limpopo Tented camp is in Mapungubwe, and yes, the pix was taken only 10 days ago at the start of a marvelous tour of the magnificent northern Limpopo (Mapungubwe and Pafuri)

Ok,

In that case this must be the same animal. Is he still in a bachelor's group?

The white impala did not seen particularly "part of" the rest of the impalas around as he was wandering about /grazing / browsing a little way off from a dispersed herd of mixed sex and age. Initially I though he was the only ram about, but now I am not so sure about that observation anymore.

Near Mpondo Dam, KNP on 14 September 2011

This Impala was seen near the Kanniedood dam hide on the 10th of April this year. From the slightly grey patches on the back I think this may be the same impala that was seen by Bushbuddies at the same location!

And a really beautiful specimen he is turning out to be
Give him one more year to mature further , and he may aquire his own harem and then may even pass on his white genes
Seen at Kanniedood on 15th April 2012 .

Good to see he is still doing well!

Is there any news on said impala? Anyone seen a white impala in the Kanniedood area recently?
