Waar om die Mountain Aloe in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Mountain Aloe at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Ithala 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 Mountain Aloe is most recorded in Limpopo (28% of records), Gauteng (23% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), based on 2,349 iNaturalist observations. 21 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Mountain Aloe on site or nearby.

The Mountain Aloe 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; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Aloe marlothii (also known as the mountain aloe or the flat-flowered aloe) is a large, single-stemmed Southern African aloe of rocky places and open flat country, occasionally growing up to 6m tall.
