The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), also known as the African savanna elephant, is the larger of the two species of African elephants.
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.

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 verhuurder de African Elephant op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Het is nooit een garantie dat u de soort ziet.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Elephant at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 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 African Elephant is most recorded in Mpumalanga (39% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), Eastern Cape (16% of records), based on 10 842 iNaturalist observations. 73 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Elephant on site or nearby.
The African Elephant 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
