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.

The Cape Cobra 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
