Bushbuck
Bushbuck slip quietly between the trees around the camping ground, and they are one of the pleasures of simply sitting still at your site. As the visitor code puts it, the bushbuck are perfect as they are, so please do not feed them.
When and where to see them
Around camp, in the shade of the milkwoods and dune forest, usually early or late in the day. Pack food away and keep wildlife wild; see The Protected Place for the full visitor code.
