Which parks and reserves are best for the Umbrella Thorn in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Umbrella Thorn at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 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.
Where can you see the Umbrella Thorn in South Africa?
The Umbrella Thorn is most recorded in Limpopo (33% of records), Gauteng (19% of records), North West (17% of records), based on 1,486 iNaturalist observations. 14 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Umbrella Thorn on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Umbrella Thorn?
The Umbrella Thorn 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
