Red-billed Buffalo Weaver

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red-billed Buffalo Weaver at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Mapungubwe National Park and Madikwe Game Reserve. 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.

The Red-billed Buffalo Weaver is most recorded in Mpumalanga (51% of records), Limpopo (43% of records), based on 663 iNaturalist observations. 57 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red-billed Buffalo Weaver on site or nearby.

The Red-billed Buffalo Weaver 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; Mapungubwe National Park: May-Sep, dry season; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The red-billed buffalo weaver (Bubalornis niger) is a species of bird in the Ploceidae family. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitat is the dry savanna.
