Onde ver o Blue Duiker na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Blue Duiker at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Tsitsikamma National Park, Garden Route National Park and Harold Johnson 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 Blue Duiker is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (78% of records), Eastern Cape (14% of records), Western Cape (7% of records), based on 627 iNaturalist observations. 25 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Blue Duiker on site or nearby.

The Blue 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Addo Elephant National Park: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Tsitsikamma National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Blue Duiker (Philantomba monticola) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
