  • Protected habitat blocks within sub-Saharan Africa in freshwater systems with dependable grazing access.

Tips spotting

  • First light and late afternoon are often best, when animals come out to feed along the edge of water.
  • Use binoculars from a track, ridge, or vehicle stop and scan far ahead before you move closer.
