Impala – Black

Aepyceros melampus

A Unique and Exquisite Antelope

The Black Impala, a rare and striking variation of the standard Impala, is a captivating antelope species known for its distinctive ebony coat.

These remarkable creatures call the savannas and woodlands of Africa their home, adding a touch of elegance to their natural habitat.

Black Impalas are characterized by their sleek black coats, which contrast dramatically with their striking white underbellies and the iconic “M” marking on their rear. Standing at approximately 75-95 cm tall at the shoulder and weighing around 40-75 kg, they possess the same grace and agility as their standard counterparts.
