Questions des voyageurs

Une observation signifie qu’un hôte a vu l’espèce Shepherd’s Tree sur place ou à proximité. Ce n’est jamais une garantie de la voir.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Shepherd’s Tree in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Shepherd’s Tree at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kruger 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 Shepherd’s Tree in South Africa?

The Shepherd’s Tree is most recorded in Northern Cape (56% of records), Limpopo (21% of records), North West (9% of records), based on 1,676 iNaturalist observations. 11 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Shepherd’s Tree on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Shepherd’s Tree?

The Shepherd’s Tree 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. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

What is the Shepherd’s Tree?

Boscia albitrunca, commonly known as the Shepherd tree or Shepherd's tree (Afrikaans: Witgat, Sotho: Mohlôpi, Tswana: Motlôpi, Venda: Muvhombwe, Xhosa: Umgqomogqomo, Zulu: Umvithi), is a protected tree in South Africa. The species epithet "albitrunca" refers to the oftentimes white trunk.
