Springbok H.A.R.T Challenge

The Springbok H.A.R.T Challenge is a celebration of color, diversity, and precision. This challenge calls on you to verify a H.A.R.T shot on each of the four major color variations of the springbok: Common, White, Copper, and Black.

Elegant and energetic, springbok are among the most iconic antelopes of Southern Africa. Their coloration may vary, but their speed, agility, and beauty are constant. Capturing each variation requires not only awareness and tracking, but also a deep appreciation for subtle visual details in natural light.
