Wo man den Vervet Monkey in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Vervet Monkey at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Gondwana Game Reserve and Tsitsikamma National 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 Vervet Monkey is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (36% of records), Mpumalanga (21% of records), Limpopo (14% of records), based on 6,852 iNaturalist observations. 52 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Vervet Monkey on site or nearby.

The Vervet Monkey 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; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries.
