Indigenous species in RSA`s Eastern Cape
I`m pretty close to booking a hunt with an outfitter in Port Elisabeth, Eastern Cape.
This will be a hunt for 10 classic RSA species.
Eastern Cape Greater Kudu, Cape Bushbuck, Cape Grysbok, Vaal Rhebok, Black Wildebeest, Blesbok, Bontebok, South African Springbok, Black Springbok and White Springbok, and maybe a Blue Duiker..
Which of these are actually indigneous to this area? I recon most of them, maybe except the Black Wildebeest and some of the Springbok`s.. Have tried to figure this out with books and internet-search, but I am not sure anymore.. Smiler Can anyone help me..?
It`s important for me to hunt species were they should naturally occur, and also to have as much knowledge on the species as I can before the hunt.

All of the species you listed do occur naturally in the Eastern Cape. Many of them do also occur in other areas as well, but you are on the money with all of them.
