Buffalo
Buffalo are among the animals that make the protected landscape behind Cape Vidal’s dunes feel genuinely wild, sharing the grasslands and coastal forest with kudu, reedbuck and hippo.
When and where to see them
Buffalo and warthog are most often found around the water on the self-drive game loops. Stay in your vehicle except at designated spots, and give them plenty of room.
