Zebra
Zebra
Zebra are among the animals you are most likely to meet on the open grass of the Eastern Shores, and they give Cape Vidal one of its finest lines: you can be in the sea before breakfast and watching zebra on a loop road by mid-morning.
When and where to see them
Look for them on the open grassland from the self-drive game loops, with the 17-kilometre Grassland Loop the classic outing. Early morning and late afternoon are the golden hours. Guided horse safaris also ride through the southern grasslands among zebra and wildebeest.
