African Finfoot

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Finfoot at stays in or beside Madikwe Game Reserve. 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 African Finfoot is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (40% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), Limpopo (16% of records), based on 172 iNaturalist observations. 1 place to stay on Spekboom in North West has recorded the African Finfoot on site or nearby.

The African Finfoot 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. Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African finfoot (Podica senegalensis) is an aquatic bird from the family Heliornithidae (the finfoots and sungrebe). The species lives in the rivers and lakes of western, central, and southern Africa.
