Mountain Zebra National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa
 
  

This is a national park in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa proclaimed in July, 1937 for the purpose of providing a nature reserve for the endangered Cape Mountain Zebra.

The number of zebras has increased steadily. Since 1978, capture and relocation of Mountain Zebras to new habitats have been part of the routine management of the park. Between 200 and 230 zebras are maintained in the Park, and an average of about 20 animals are relocated each year. Through the years, additional farms have been purchased to increase the size of the park to the current 200 km².

Other mammals found in the boundaries of the park include caracal, Cape Buffalo, black rhino, eland, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, gemsbok and grey rhebok.
