Leaping safari beast (6)

I believe the answer is:

impala

(Other definitions for impala that I've seen before include "one advances by leaps and bounds" , "runner and long jumper from Africa" , "leaping creature" , "graceful African runner" , "horny creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
