Waar om die Red-crested Korhaan in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red-crested Korhaan at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Madikwe Game Reserve and Ndumo 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-crested Korhaan is most recorded in Mpumalanga (51% of records), Limpopo (38% of records), Northern Cape (6% of records), based on 1,143 iNaturalist observations. 29 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red-crested Korhaan on site or nearby.

The Red-crested Korhaan 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The red-crested korhaan or red-crested bustard (Lophotis ruficrista) is a species of bird in the family Otididae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
