A Rare Encounter at the Waterhole
By: Limpopo-Lipadi | Date: Sep 26, 2024 | Reserve
Exploring Limpopo-Lipadi always brings unexpected moments, but this encounter was truly special. As we approached a quiet waterhole, we spotted a small steenbok drinking. Which is a rare sight! Read on if you want to know why…
Steenbok are incredibly well-adapted to dry areas and seldom need to drink. In our years of traversing these lands, such a sighting is a rare gem. They are known for their incredible adaptation to arid environments, rarely needing to drink due to their ability to derive moisture from the plants they eat. Seeing one so vulnerably and peacefully at the waterhole was simply an unexpected treat. We watched quietly, not wanting to disturb this special moment.
Seeing the steenbok drink was a special reminder of why we love exploring our Reserve, to find a surprise around every corner.
