Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 7,512 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

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

iNaturalist-waarnemingen
Elke boeking op Spekboom steunt natuurbehoud.
Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Giraffe op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Giraffe at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve and Mont Eco Private Game 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 Giraffe is most recorded in Mpumalanga (34% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), based on 7 512 iNaturalist observations. 13 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the Giraffe on site or nearby.
The Giraffe 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Mont Eco Private Game Reserve: year-round, peak: Dec-Mar. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
