Questions travellers ask
A record means a host has seen the African Pipit on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.
Which parks and reserves are best for the African Pipit in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Pipit at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kwandwe Private 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.
Where can you see the African Pipit in South Africa?
The African Pipit is most recorded in Western Cape (32% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), Mpumalanga (14% of records), based on 2,567 iNaturalist observations. 84 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Pipit on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the African Pipit?
The African Pipit 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. Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the African Pipit?
The African pipit (Anthus cinnamomeus) is a fairly small passerine bird belonging to the pipit genus Anthus in the family Motacillidae. It is also known as the grassveld pipit or grassland pipit. It was formerly lumped together with the Richard's, Australasian, mountain and paddyfield pipits in a single species, Richard's pipit, but is now often treated as a species in its own right.
