Waar u de African Crowned Eagle in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Crowned Eagle at stays in or beside Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Kruger National Park and Ithala 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 Crowned Eagle is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (81% of records), Eastern Cape (9% of records), Limpopo (5% of records), based on 912 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Crowned Eagle on site or nearby.

The African Crowned Eagle 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. Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Ithala Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African Crowned Eagle (Stephanoaetus coronatus) is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
