Waar om die Wild Date Palm in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Wild Date Palm at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Ithala Game 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.

The Wild Date Palm is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (62% of records), Eastern Cape (30% of records), based on 3,168 iNaturalist observations. 15 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Wild Date Palm on site or nearby.

The Wild Date Palm 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Wild date palm or Senegal date palm (Phoenix reclinata, reclinata - Latin, reclining) is a species of flowering plant in the palm family native to tropical Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. It is also reportedly naturalized in Florida, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and the Leeward Islands.
