Lokasi yang layak dicek
- Water sources, dune bases, rocky wadis, or shaded scrub at first and last light
- Protected habitat blocks within south Africa
Tips spotting
- Start early, pick one strong patch of habitat, and stay long enough for movement to return after you arrive.
- Check shaded cover, water points, and cooler hours, because many dry-country animals avoid peak heat.
- Warm rocks, trail edges, fallen timber, and quiet water margins are usually better than heavily disturbed ground.
