The Cape Clawless Otter. Look for them along the endless coastlines and rivers while they hunt for crabs. They’re also known as the African Clawless Otter and are some of the largest Otter species in the world!
Dolphins. Remember to keep an eye on the ocean while you’re absorbing the scenes around you to spot dolphins or porpoises in the water.
The African Black Oystercatcher. These waders are sure to keep you entertained along the rocky parts of the coastline. You can spot pairs of these near-threatened bird species (it’s estimated that the population is less than 10 000) during the breeding season from April to November.
Knysna Lourie. Look for these colorful turacos when you meander through the forests (remember to look up for a chance to spot their brilliant crimson wings when they’re in flight).
Blue Duiker. These little guys are the smallest antelope species in South Africa, weighing under 5kg. The “blue” refers to the hue of their hair under the forest canopies, where they lead an elusive existence.
