Waar u de African Wild Dog in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Wild Dog at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Marakele National Park, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and Thornybush Game 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 African Wild Dog is most recorded in Mpumalanga (62% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (8% of records), based on 1,415 iNaturalist observations. 32 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Wild Dog on site or nearby.

The African Wild Dog 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus) is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
