Onde ver o Brown Hyena na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Brown Hyena at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Marakele National Park, Amakhala Game Reserve and Welgevonden 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 Brown Hyena is most recorded in Limpopo (29% of records), North West (24% of records), Northern Cape (20% of records), based on 536 iNaturalist observations. 39 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Brown Hyena on site or nearby.

The Brown Hyena 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. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Brown Hyena (Parahyaena brunnea) is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
