In the heart of Kidepo Valley National Park, where the savannah stretches endlessly into the distant hills, Jackson's Hartebeests graze. These elegant antelopes stand out for their long legs, rusty brown fur and distinctive, curved horns. They move through the landscape with a graceful alertness - always vigilant, but at the same time completely in harmony with their surroundings.
The Hartebeest is a paragon of adaptation and strength. In the dry plains of Kidepo, it manages to survive thanks to its stamina and strong social structure within small herds. Their silhouettes against the setting sun are among the park's most iconic images.
This photo collection celebrates the beauty of the Hartebeest: from intimate portraits in soft morning light to vast landscapes in which herds move through golden grass. A tribute to the graceful inhabitants of Kidepo, where nature and freedom still merge pristine.
