Où observer le Red Hartebeest en Afrique du Sud

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red Hartebeest at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park and Marakele 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 Red Hartebeest is most recorded in Eastern Cape (32% of records), Western Cape (25% of records), Northern Cape (14% of records), based on 2,626 iNaturalist observations. 71 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red Hartebeest on site or nearby.

The Red Hartebeest 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. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
