Waar om die African Elephant in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Elephant at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and other reserves. 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 African Elephant is most recorded in Mpumalanga (39% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), Eastern Cape (16% of records), based on 10 842 iNaturalist observations. 73 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Elephant on site or nearby.

The African Elephant 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; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the larger of the two species of African elephants. These elephants were previously regarded as the same species, but the African forest elephant has been reclassified as L. cyclotis.
