Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 5,763 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Ein Nachweis bedeutet, dass ein Gastgeber den Lion auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Lion at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve and Mont Eco Private Game 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 Lion is most recorded in Mpumalanga (47% of records), Limpopo (19% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (10% of records), based on 5 762 iNaturalist observations. 11 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the Lion on site or nearby.
The Lion 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Mont Eco Private Game Reserve: year-round, peak: Dec-Mar. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
