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 7,919 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

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
- Vroegoggend en laatmiddag. Die Chacma Baboon is bedags uit, en die maklikste om te sien voor die hitte.
- Middaghitte. Rus dikwels in die skaduwee of naby water.
