Cape Mountain Zebra

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cape Mountain Zebra at stays in or beside Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Table Mountain National Park and Tankwa Karoo 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 Cape Mountain Zebra is most recorded in Western Cape (71% of records), Eastern Cape (28% of records), based on 1,437 iNaturalist observations. 36 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Cape Mountain Zebra on site or nearby.

The Cape Mountain Zebra 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. Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Addo Elephant National Park: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Cape Mountain Zebra (Equus zebra zebra) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

The Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra) is a subspecies of mountain zebra that occurs in certain mountainous regions of the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. It is the smallest of all existing zebra species and also the most geographically restricted.
