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.

Donkerder maande is elke park se eie beste seisoen, wanneer yl bos of skaars water dit makliker maak om te kyk. 'n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Aantekeninge

iNaturalist-waarnemings
Elke bespreking op Spekboom ondersteun bewaring.
'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Caracal op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Caracal 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 Caracal is most recorded in Western Cape (76% of records), Northern Cape (5% of records), based on 1 533 iNaturalist observations. 11 places to stay on Spekboom in Mpumalanga have recorded the Caracal on site or nearby.
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. 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.
