Waar u de Great White Pelican in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Great White Pelican at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Rocherpan Nature Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park 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 Great White Pelican is most recorded in Western Cape (86% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), based on 1,169 iNaturalist observations. 39 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Great White Pelican on site or nearby.

The Great White Pelican 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; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Rocherpan Nature Reserve: Winter and spring for birds and flowers, Jun-Oct; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The great white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) also known as the eastern white pelican, rosy pelican or white pelican is a bird in the pelican family. It breeds from southeastern Europe through Asia and Africa, in swamps and shallow lakes.
