Onde ver o Goliath Heron na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Goliath Heron at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Ithala 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 Goliath Heron is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (28% of records), Mpumalanga (24% of records), Limpopo (16% of records), based on 1,763 iNaturalist observations. 40 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Goliath Heron on site or nearby.

The Goliath Heron 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Goliath heron (Ardea goliath), also known as the giant heron, is a very large wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae. It is found in sub-Saharan Africa, with smaller numbers in Southwest and South Asia.
