Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

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 Caracal 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 Caracal op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Caracal in KwaZulu-Natal?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Caracal at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Giants Castle Game Reserve, Kamberg Nature Reserve and Royal Natal National Park. 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 Caracal in South Africa?
The Caracal is most recorded in Western Cape (76% of records), Northern Cape (5% of records), based on 1,533 iNaturalist observations. 12 places to stay on Spekboom in KwaZulu-Natal have recorded the Caracal on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Caracal?
The Caracal 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. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Giants Castle Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kamberg Nature Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Royal Natal National Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
