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 Spotted Hyena 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 Spotted Hyena op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Spotted Hyena in Eastern Cape?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Spotted Hyena at stays in or beside Addo Elephant National Park and Kwandwe Private 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.
Where can you see the Spotted Hyena in South Africa?
The Spotted Hyena is most recorded in Mpumalanga (64% of records), Limpopo (25% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (5% of records), based on 3,393 iNaturalist observations. 10 places to stay on Spekboom in Eastern Cape have recorded the Spotted Hyena on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Spotted Hyena?
The Spotted Hyena 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. Addo Elephant National Park: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
