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.

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 Puff Adder 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 Puff Adder op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

When is the best time to see the Puff Adder?
The Puff Adder 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; Royal Natal National Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Weenen Game Reserve: year-round, dry winter Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Puff Adder?
Bitis arietans is a venomous viper species found in savannah and grasslands from Morocco and western Arabia throughout Africa except for the Sahara and rain forest regions. It is responsible for causing the most snakebite fatalities in Africa owing to various factors, such as its wide distribution, frequent occurrence in highly populated regions, and aggressive disposition.
