The African scops owl (Otus senegalensis) is a small owl which is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa.
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.
Curve from 400 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property and not from this province. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Scops Owl at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand 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.
The African Scops Owl is most recorded in Limpopo (45% of records), Mpumalanga (39% of records), Eastern Cape (8% of records), based on 400 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in Mpumalanga have recorded the African Scops Owl on site or nearby.
The African Scops Owl 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
