Kudu are part of the everyday rhythm of the Eastern Shores, moving along the grassland loops by mid-morning and standing at the forest edge where the open grass gives way to dune forest.
When and where to see them
Watch the forest edge from the loop roads, where kudu and reedbuck are most often seen. Take the loops slowly with the windows down, and remember that inside the park the animals have right of way.
