Waar u de African Finfoot in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Finfoot at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Amakhala Game Reserve and iSimangaliso Wetland 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 African Finfoot is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (40% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), Limpopo (16% of records), based on 172 iNaturalist observations. 37 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-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.
