Any tips for mammalwatching around Cape Town?
Hello everyone!
My dad and I are planning a big trip to South Africa for mammal and birdwatching.
First we want to spend some time around Cape Town, then we want to fly to Kimberley for Marrick. From there we want to go to Madikwe (and maybe pilanesberg), after that we want to end in St Lucia.
I first wanted to focus on the cape town part, so I have a few questions:
- Does anyone have any tips for places to go, around cape town to see some species that maybe harder to find later on in the trip?
- of course we want to look for Caracal at west coast national park, but if someone has any tips to find them would be very appreciated.
- Is Marrick good enough for the nocturnal species or is it recommended to also go to karoo?
- what species are good here, and are harder to find later on?
I hope there are some people who want to help me out with those questions.
If you have any other advise or places I need to see it would also be appreciated. (;
Greetings from the Netherlands!

Stay in !Khwa ttu if you want to collect Four striped grass mouse. You don’t need to stay for any longer than two days. From the restaurant there is a path outside. It is quite short but if you follow it you can easily pick up the mouse. For every other species go to West coast as it has better chances of seeing them.
