Grant's gazelle

Check out those Horns!

Here's another Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti), a largish antelope often seen in Kenya and Tanzania.

This shot shows off their distinctive horn set. These taper gently from base to point, curving back and outward before tipping in. Distinct rings (or ridges) may be seen along the length of this lyre-shape.

Both males and females of the species have horns. They are used for combat and display.

Grant's Goodbye

A Grant's gazelle (Nanger granti) watches as a Land Cruiser drops over a ridge in the Serengeti.

These gazelle thrive in dry environments, getting moisture from the plants that they eat. They also have a very efficient digestive system that allows them to eat tough plants avoided by other grazers/browsers.

See you later buddy. Keep an eyes out for the cheetahs.

Experience a Grant's gazelle (or a cheetah chase) for yourself on safari in February, 2026!
