Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Green Twinspot op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Green Twinspot in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Green Twinspot at stays in or beside Phinda Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. 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 Green Twinspot in South Africa?
The Green Twinspot is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (86% of records), Mpumalanga (7% of records), Limpopo (5% of records), based on 138 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Green Twinspot on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Green Twinspot?
The Green Twinspot 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. Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
