Waar om die Lion in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Lion at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve and Kwandwe Private Game Reserve 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 Lion is most recorded in Mpumalanga (47% of records), Limpopo (19% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (10% of records), based on 5 762 iNaturalist observations. 93 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Lion on site or nearby.

The Lion 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
