Wanneer en waar om die Cape Genet te vind
Gashere het die Cape Genet gesien by verblyfplekke in of langs Tsitsikamma National Park.
Wanneer om te gaan, park vir park
| Park | Jan | Feb | Mrt | Apr | Mei | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Okt | Nov | Des |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tsitsikamma | Hier | Hier | Hier | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Hier | Hier | Hier |
Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.
Beste tye van die dag
- Ná donker en rondom dagbreek. Die Cape Genet is meestal snags aktief, so ’n nagrit gee die beste kans.
- Bedags, rus. Gewoonlik weggesteek in digte bos, ’n gat of water.

Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Cape Genet op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Cape Genet in Eastern Cape?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cape Genet at stays in or beside Tsitsikamma 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 Cape Genet in South Africa?
The Cape Genet is most recorded in Western Cape (84% of records), Eastern Cape (10% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (6% of records), based on 682 iNaturalist observations. 1 place to stay on Spekboom in Eastern Cape has recorded the Cape Genet on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Cape Genet?
The Cape Genet 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. Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Cape Genet?
The Cape genet (Genetta tigrina), also known as the South African large-spotted genet, is a genet species endemic to South Africa. As it is common and not threatened, it is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Like other genets, it is nocturnal and arboreal, preferring to live in the riparian zones of forests, as long as these are not marshy areas.
