Waar u de Swainson's Spurfowl in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Swainson's Spurfowl at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. 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 Swainson's Spurfowl is most recorded in Mpumalanga (47% of records), Limpopo (28% of records), Gauteng (14% of records), based on 1,611 iNaturalist observations. 19 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Swainson's Spurfowl on site or nearby.

The Swainson's Spurfowl 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Swainson's spurfowl, Swainson's francolin or chikwari (Pternistis swainsonii) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. In the Shona language in Zimbabwe this bird is called the chikwari and is considered a delicacy by outdoor and hunting enthusiasts.
