When and where to find the Thick-tailed Bushbaby
Hosts have recorded the Thick-tailed Bushbaby at stays in or beside Welgevonden Game Reserve and Kruger National Park.
When to go, park by park
Here all yearEasiest viewing
| Park | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

Darker months are each park's own best season, when thinner bush or scarce water makes viewing easier. A sighting is never guaranteed.
Best hours of the day
- After dark and around dawn. The Thick-tailed Bushbaby is mostly active at night, so a night drive gives the best chance.
- Daytime, resting. Usually out of sight in cover, a burrow or water.

Questions travellers ask
A record means a host has seen the Thick-tailed Bushbaby on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Thick-tailed Bushbaby in Limpopo?
