The Rüppell's Bustard is a medium-sized bird endemic to the arid regions of southwestern Africa. Known for its cryptic plumage, it blends seamlessly into its dry, stony habitats.
Where to spot
Found in southwestern Africa, primarily Namibia and Angola, inhabiting gravel plains, semi-deserts, and arid grasslands with sparse vegetation.
How to spot
Look for them walking slowly in open areas. Their cryptic plumage makes them difficult to spot, so scan open landscapes with binoculars. Listen for their distinctive calls, which can help in locating them.
When to spot
Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings and late afternoons, when they are most active. Breeding displays occur during the rainy season.

Despite its somewhat dull appearance, the Rüppell's Bustard performs an impressive courtship display where the male inflates its throat and raises its tail to attract a mate.
