Wo man den Cape Buffalo in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cape Buffalo at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park 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 Cape Buffalo is most recorded in Mpumalanga (36% of records), Limpopo (22% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), based on 5,363 iNaturalist observations. 87 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Cape Buffalo on site or nearby.

The Cape Buffalo 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
