Waar om die White Mangrove in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the White Mangrove at stays in or beside iSimangaliso Wetland Park and uMlalazi Nature Reserve. 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 White Mangrove is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (80% of records), Eastern Cape (20% of records), based on 323 iNaturalist observations. 2 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the White Mangrove on site or nearby.

The White Mangrove 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. iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; uMlalazi Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Avicennia marina, commonly known as grey mangrove or white mangrove, is a species of mangrove tree classified in the plant family Acanthaceae (formerly in the Verbenaceae or Avicenniaceae). As with other mangroves, it occurs in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas.
