Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die White Pear op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the White Pear in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the White Pear at stays in or beside Table Mountain National Park, Tsitsikamma National Park, Welgevonden Game Reserve, Garden Route National Park, Harold Johnson Nature Reserve and uMlalazi Nature 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 White Pear in South Africa?
The White Pear is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (36% of records), Eastern Cape (24% of records), Western Cape (19% of records), based on 2,046 iNaturalist observations. 10 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the White Pear on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the White Pear?
The White Pear 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; Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
