Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.
Beste tye van die dag
- Die warm ure van die dag. Die Water Monitor het die son se warmte nodig voordat dit beweeg.
- Koue oggende en nagte. Weggesteek totdat die dag warm word.

Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Water Monitor op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Water Monitor in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Water Monitor at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Giants Castle 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.
Where can you see the Water Monitor in South Africa?
The Water Monitor is most recorded in Mpumalanga (35% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (26% of records), Limpopo (19% of records), based on 2,242 iNaturalist observations. 32 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Water Monitor on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Water Monitor?
The Water Monitor 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. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
