Où observer le Klipspringer en Afrique du Sud

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Klipspringer at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Cederberg Wilderness Area, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park and Marakele National 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 Klipspringer is most recorded in Western Cape (49% of records), Mpumalanga (18% of records), Limpopo (18% of records), based on 2,950 iNaturalist observations. 107 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Klipspringer on site or nearby.

The Klipspringer 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; Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Klipspringer (Oreotragus oreotragus) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

The klipspringer is a small antelope found in eastern and southern Africa. The sole member of its genus, the klipspringer was first described by German zoologist Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann in 1783. The klipspringer is a small, sturdy antelope; it reaches 43, 60 centimetres (17, 23 1⁄2 inches) at the shoulder and weighs from 8 to 18 kilograms (18 to 40 pounds).
