Red Duiker

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red Duiker at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Harold Johnson Nature Reserve, Ithala Game Reserve and Ndumo 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 Red Duiker is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (93% of records), based on 819 iNaturalist observations. 44 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red Duiker on site or nearby.

The Red Duiker 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; Harold Johnson Nature Reserve: year-round; Ithala Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Ndumo Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Red Duiker (Cephalophus natalensis) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

The red forest duiker, Natal duiker, or Natal red duiker is a small antelope found in central to southern Africa. While the red forest duiker is very similar to the common duiker, it is smaller in size and has a distinguishing reddish coloring. Additionally, the red forest duiker favors a denser bush habitat than the common duiker.
