Wanneer en waar om die African Elephant te vind

Gashere het die African Elephant aangeteken by verblyf in of langs Phinda Private Game Reserve.

Donkerder maande is elke park se eie beste seisoen, wanneer yl bos of skaars water dit makliker maak om te kyk. 'n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Beste tye van die dag

Vroegoggend en laatmiddag. Die African Elephant is bedags uit, en die maklikste om te sien voor die hitte.
Middaghitte. Rus dikwels in die skaduwee of naby water.

Maniere om te kyk

Vrae wat reisigers vra

'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die African Elephant op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the African Elephant in KwaZulu-Natal?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Elephant at stays in or beside Phinda 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 African Elephant in South Africa?

The African Elephant is most recorded in Mpumalanga (39% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), Eastern Cape (16% of records), based on 10 842 iNaturalist observations. 13 places to stay on Spekboom in KwaZulu-Natal have recorded the African Elephant on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the African Elephant?

The African Elephant 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. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
