Waar om die Red-chested Flufftail in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red-chested Flufftail at stays in or beside Phinda Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Kogelberg Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve 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.

The Red-chested Flufftail is most recorded in Western Cape (33% of records), Gauteng (24% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (17% of records), based on 70 iNaturalist observations. 24 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red-chested Flufftail on site or nearby.

The Red-chested Flufftail 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; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Kogelberg Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
