When and where to find the Thick-tailed Bushbaby
Hosts have recorded the Thick-tailed Bushbaby at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
When to go, park by park

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.
