Vrae wat reisigers vra

’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Purple Roller op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Purple Roller in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Purple Roller at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Madikwe Game Reserve and Marakele National 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 Purple Roller in South Africa?

The Purple Roller is most recorded in Mpumalanga (47% of records), Limpopo (45% of records), North West (5% of records), based on 601 iNaturalist observations. 26 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Purple Roller on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Purple Roller?

The Purple Roller 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

What is the Purple Roller?

The purple roller (Coracias naevius), or rufous-crowned roller, is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa. Compared with other rollers its colours are rather dull and its voice rather harsh and grating.
