Onde ver o Knysna Turaco na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Knysna Turaco at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve, Tsitsikamma National Park, Garden Route National Park and Keurbooms River Nature 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 Knysna Turaco is most recorded in Western Cape (64% of records), Eastern Cape (20% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (10% of records), based on 1,427 iNaturalist observations. 30 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Knysna Turaco on site or nearby.

The Knysna Turaco 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Knysna turaco (Tauraco corythaix), or, in South Africa, Knysna lourie, is a large turaco, one of a group of African near-passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in the mature evergreen forests of southern and eastern South Africa, and Swaziland. It was formerly sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the green turaco of West Africa.
