Reedbuck
Reedbuck are one of the four species the Eastern Shores are known for, alongside zebra, kudu and buffalo, and they reward the patient eye on a slow drive through the grassland.
When and where to see them
Scan the forest edge on the loop roads, where reedbuck are most often seen alongside kudu. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to be out.
