Lesser Honeyguide

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Lesser Honeyguide at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and De Hoop Nature Reserve 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 Lesser Honeyguide is most recorded in Western Cape (28% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (26% of records), Gauteng (15% of records), based on 553 iNaturalist observations. 63 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Lesser Honeyguide on site or nearby.

The Lesser Honeyguide 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; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
