View of the Oribi Gorge
The Oribi. One of 29 Antelope Species found in South Africa.
It has a rather scattered distribution in South Africa and in many places where was reported as rather common, it has become locally extinct.
We have spent many hours game viewing in many different Game Reserves and have never been rewarded with a sight of an Oribi until we visited the Private Lake Eland Nature Reserve in the Oribi Gorge in Kwazulu Natal South Africa.
Here we were rewarded with stunning views of the gorge and we spotted a number of these beautiful Antelope.
The Oribi ( Ourebia ourebi)
When it runs it has a characteristic rocking action similar to that of a rocking horse. A smallish but very fast antelope.
