It's a hyrax sp. for sure. I would probably lean towards Bush Hyrax Heterohyrax brucei although I wouldn't rule out Rock Hyrax without seeing some detailed distribution maps for both species.

I'd also go with Bush Hyrax, it's very white underneath and although subtle, the facial markings suggest that species better.

Now I've looked in my shiny new Mammals of the World: Hoofed Mammals, the creature in the video fits the illustration for Bush Hyrax nicely.
