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
- Ná donker en rondom dagbreek. Die Cape Genet is meestal snags aktief, so ’n nagrit gee die beste kans.
- Bedags, rus. Gewoonlik weggesteek in digte bos, ’n gat of water.
