Onde ver o Black Wildebeest na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Black Wildebeest at stays in or beside Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Amakhala Game Reserve, Golden Gate Highlands National Park, Chelmsford Nature Reserve (Ntshingwayo Dam) and Kamberg Nature 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 Black Wildebeest is most recorded in Gauteng (33% of records), Eastern Cape (24% of records), Free State (18% of records), based on 1,115 iNaturalist observations. 24 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Black Wildebeest on site or nearby.

The Black Wildebeest 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. Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Amakhala Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Golden Gate Highlands National Park: Mar-May, Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The black wildebeest or white-tailed gnu (Connochaetes gnou) is one of the two closely related wildebeest species. It is a member of the genus Connochaetes and family Bovidae. It was first described in 1780 by Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann. The black wildebeest is typically between 170-220 cm (67-87 in) in head-and-body length, and the average weight is 110-180 kg (240-400 lb).
