African Conservation Experience - Game Capture Team
Game Capture is a specialised part of reserve and wildlife management in South Africa. Volunteers can join the capture and relocation of species such as buffalo, rhino, giraffe and antelopes.
Roan antelope
Between 1986 and 1993, the roan antelope population in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, declined from about 450 to 45 animals. At Hanchi and Zingela these animals are being bred. Volunteers monitor their densities, age and condition on horseback.
The Male Waterbuck -a classic African antelope
As its name would indicate, the waterbuck inhabits areas that are close to water in savanna grasslands, gallery forests and riverine woodlands south of the Sahara. Such habitats not only provide sustenance but long grasses and watery places in which to hide from predators.
Africa's Roan Antelope
One of the largest African antelopes, the roan antelope has a gray coat with black and white facial markings, very long, pointed ears that are tufted at tip, and long horns that are strongly curved backwards.
