The springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized brown and white antelope-gazelle of southwestern Africa.It is extremely fast and can reach speeds of 100 km/h (62 mph) and can leap 4 m (13 feet) through the air. The common name "springbok" comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch words spring = jump and bok = male antelope or goat.
The specific epithet marsupialis (Latin: marsupium, "pocket") derives from a pocket-like skin flap which extends along the middle of the back from the tail onwards. When the male springbok is showing off his strength to attract a mate, or to ward off predators, he starts off in a stiff-legged trot, jumping up into the air with an arched back every few paces and lifting the flap along his back. Lifting the flap causes the long white hairs under the tail to stand up in a conspicuous fan shape, which in turn emits a strong scent of sweat. This ritual is known as stotting or pronking from the Afrikaans meaning to boast or show off.
From the Parking co-ordinates you will spot a pole with a sign facing away from you, under the sign is a pile of rocks. This is the start of a trail. Take this trail and walk for approximately 140m, from the sign along the pathway. You will encounter that this pathway becomes quite rocky. On the ground to the right you will notice a small pile of rocks stacked, this is the clue to act like a springbok and start climbing the rocky cliff after approximately 7m, up from the pathway, you will notice another pile of rocks stacked. The cache is located just behind this spot.
