Donkerder maanden zijn het beste seizoen van elk park, wanneer dunne begroeiing of schaars water het kijken makkelijker maakt. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.

Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Spotted Hyena op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Spotted Hyena at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Timbavati Private Nature 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 Spotted Hyena is most recorded in Mpumalanga (64% of records), Limpopo (25% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (5% of records), based on 3 393 iNaturalist observations. 16 places to stay on Spekboom in Mpumalanga have recorded the Spotted Hyena on site or nearby.
The Spotted Hyena 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
