The Hartebeest Herd Heard

The hartebeests were attuned to our arrival in the Serengeti.

Gun-hunters, apex predators, and peaceful photographers struggle to ambush the hartebeest. These African savanna antelopes are legendary for their sharp eyesight and hyper-alert nature.

Get your photo, quick (!), before they bolt!
