Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Egyptian Goose op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Egyptian Goose in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Egyptian Goose at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
Where can you see the Egyptian Goose in South Africa?
The Egyptian Goose is most recorded in Western Cape (53% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (15% of records), Gauteng (8% of records), based on 12,947 iNaturalist observations. 124 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Egyptian Goose on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Egyptian Goose?
The Egyptian Goose is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
