Elke boeking op Spekboom steunt natuurbehoud.
Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Gemsbok op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Gemsbok at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve and Karoo National Park. 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 Gemsbok is most recorded in Northern Cape (50% of records), Western Cape (27% of records), Eastern Cape (9% of records), based on 1 562 iNaturalist observations. 9 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the Gemsbok on site or nearby.
The Gemsbok 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Karoo National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
