Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 1,040 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Wanneer om te gaan, park vir park
| Park | Jan | Feb | Mrt | Apr | Mei | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Okt | Nov | Des |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hluhluwe-Imfolozi | Hier | Hier | Hier | Hier | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Maklikste om te sien | Hier | Hier | Hier |
| Ithala | Hier | Hier | Hier | Hier | Maklikste om te sien |
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 Aardvark 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 Aardvark op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Aardvark in KwaZulu-Natal?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Aardvark at stays in or beside Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and Ithala 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 Aardvark in South Africa?
The Aardvark is most recorded in Western Cape (28% of records), Northern Cape (25% of records), Gauteng (17% of records), based on 1,040 iNaturalist observations. 6 places to stay on Spekboom in KwaZulu-Natal have recorded the Aardvark on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Aardvark?
The Aardvark 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. Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Ithala Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Aardvark?
The aardvark is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa. It is the only living species of the order Tubulidentata, although other prehistoric species and genera of Tubulidentata are known. Unlike other insectivores, it has a long pig-like snout, which is used to sniff out food.
