Questions des voyageurs
Une observation signifie qu’un hôte a vu l’espèce Baobab sur place ou à proximité. Ce n’est jamais une garantie de la voir.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Baobab in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Baobab at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Mapungubwe National Park. 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 Baobab in South Africa?
The Baobab is most recorded in Limpopo (89% of records), Mpumalanga (11% of records), based on 1 289 iNaturalist observations. 9 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Baobab on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Baobab?
The Baobab 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; Mapungubwe National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Baobab?
Adansonia digitata, the baobab, is the most widespread of the Adansonia species, and is native to the African continent. The long-lived pachycauls are typically found in dry, hot savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa, where they dominate the landscape, and reveal the presence of a watercourse from afar.
