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
- Die eerste en laaste ure van daglig. Die Black-backed Jackal beweeg en jag in die koelte.
- Middaguur, rus. Lê gewoonlik in die skaduwee en is moeilik om raak te sien.
- Ná donker, op ’n nagrit. Waar die reservaat of park een aanbied.
