The blesbok or blesbuck (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi) is an antelope endemic to South Africa. It has a distinctive white face and forehead which inspired the name, because bles is the Afrikaans word for a blaze such as one might see on the forehead of a horse.

Donkerder maande is elke park se eie beste seisoen, wanneer yl bos of skaars water dit makliker maak om te kyk. 'n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Beste tye van die dag

Vroegoggend en laatmiddag. Die Blesbok is bedags uit, en die maklikste om te sien voor die hitte.
Middaghitte. Rus dikwels in die skaduwee of naby water.

Vrae wat reisigers vra

'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Blesbok op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Blesbok in North West?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Blesbok at stays in or beside Madikwe Game Reserve. 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.

Where can you see the Blesbok in South Africa?

The Blesbok is most recorded in Gauteng (32% of records), Eastern Cape (21% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (16% of records), based on 1 691 iNaturalist observations. 2 places to stay on Spekboom in North West have recorded the Blesbok on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Blesbok?
