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 warm ure van die dag. Die Southern Rock Agama het die son se warmte nodig voordat dit beweeg.
- Koue oggende en nagte. Weggesteek totdat die dag warm word.
