Gerenuk means “giraffe necked” in the Somali language. So it’s not surprising that the gerenuk is relatively easy to identify on game drives because of its most prominent feature — a long neck!
If spotting a gerenuk is at the top of your wildlife wish list, head to Tanzania's Lake Manyara or Tarangire National Parks [1] in the Masai Steppe or Kenya's Samburu Reserve [2].
