The impala (Aepyceros melampus) is one of the most common and most graceful of all Africa's antelopes. It is diurnal, which means it is most active in the early morning and just before sunset. Impala can jump 10 feet in the air and leap a distance of 33 feet when running. Native to Africa, it ranges from Angola, Namibia to northeast South Africa and north through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya.
