Waar om die Assegai in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Assegai at stays in or beside Garden Route National Park. 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 Assegai is most recorded in Western Cape (84% of records), Eastern Cape (8% of records), based on 1,161 iNaturalist observations. 1 place to stay on Spekboom in South Africa has recorded the Assegai on site or nearby.

The Assegai 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. Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Curtisia dentata (commonly known as the Assegai tree or Cape lancewood, Afrikaans: Assegaai, Xhosa: Umgxina, Zulu: Umagunda) is a flowering tree from Southern Africa. It is the sole species in genus Curtisia, which was originally classed as a type of "dogwood" (Cornaceae), but is now placed in its own unique family Curtisiaceae.
