Questions travellers ask
A record means a host has seen the Red-billed Teal on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Red-billed Teal in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Red-billed Teal at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Rocherpan Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park and De Hoop 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 Red-billed Teal is most recorded in Western Cape (51% of records), Gauteng (12% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), based on 2,046 iNaturalist observations. 57 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Red-billed Teal on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Red-billed Teal?
The Red-billed Teal 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; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Rocherpan Nature Reserve: Winter and spring for birds and flowers, Jun-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Red-billed Teal?
The red-billed teal (Anas erythrorhyncha) is a dabbling duck which is an abundant resident breeder in southern and eastern Africa typically south of 10° S. This duck is not migratory, but will fly great distances to find suitable waters. It is highly gregarious outside the breeding season and forms large flocks.
