Où observer le Bushbuck en Afrique du Sud

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Bushbuck at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Goukamma Nature Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 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 Bushbuck is most recorded in Western Cape (29% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (25% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), based on 4,840 iNaturalist observations. 79 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Bushbuck on site or nearby.

The Bushbuck 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Cape bushbuck (Tragelaphus sylvaticus), also known as imbabala is a common, medium-sized bushland-dwelling, and a widespread species of antelope in sub-Saharan Africa. It is found in a wide range of habitats, such as rain forests, montane forests, forest-savanna mosaic, savanna, bushveld, and woodland. It stands around 90 cm (35 in) at the shoulder and weigh from 45 to 80 kg (99 to 176 lb).
