Où observer le Oribi en Afrique du Sud

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Oribi at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Golden Gate Highlands National Park, Chelmsford Nature Reserve (Ntshingwayo Dam), Giants Castle Game Reserve and Ithala Game Reserve 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 Oribi is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (46% of records), Eastern Cape (32% of records), Mpumalanga (21% of records), based on 149 iNaturalist observations. 60 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Oribi on site or nearby.

The Oribi 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; Golden Gate Highlands National Park: Mar-May, Aug-Oct; Chelmsford Nature Reserve (Ntshingwayo Dam): year-round. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Oribi (Ourebia ourebi) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

The Oribi is a small antelope found in eastern, southern and western Africa.
