Wo man den Bontebok in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Bontebok at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Bontebok National Park, Table Mountain National Park and West Coast National Park. 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 Bontebok is most recorded in Western Cape (54% of records), Gauteng (14% of records), Eastern Cape (11% of records), based on 4,023 iNaturalist observations. 16 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Bontebok on site or nearby.

The Bontebok 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Bontebok National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Table Mountain National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The bontebok is an antelope found in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. The bontebok has two subspecies; the bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus pygargus), occurring naturally in the Fynbos and Renosterveld areas of the Western Cape, and the blesbok occurring in the highveld.
