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 Bushbuck 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.

Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Bushbuck op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
