Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Waboom op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Waboom in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Waboom at stays in or beside Table Mountain 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.
Where can you see the Waboom in South Africa?
The Waboom is most recorded in Western Cape (97% of records), based on 5,871 iNaturalist observations. 5 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Waboom on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Waboom?
The Waboom 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. Table Mountain National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
