Waar om die Springbok in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Springbok at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Golden Gate Highlands National Park, Gondwana Game Reserve, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Ai-Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Springbok is most recorded in Western Cape (32% of records), Northern Cape (29% of records), Eastern Cape (18% of records), based on 2,542 iNaturalist observations. 41 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Springbok on site or nearby.

The Springbok is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Golden Gate Highlands National Park: Mar-May, Aug-Oct; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The springbok is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern Africa. The sole member of the genus Antidorcas, this bovid was first described by the German zoologist Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann in 1780. Three subspecies are identified.
