Questions travellers ask
A record means a host has seen the Matumi on the property or nearby. It is never a guarantee of a sighting.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Matumi in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Matumi at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand Game Reserve. 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 Matumi in South Africa?
The Matumi is most recorded in Mpumalanga (64% of records), Limpopo (36% of records), based on 349 iNaturalist observations. 8 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Matumi on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Matumi?
The Matumi 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the Matumi?
Breonadia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. It was described by Colin Ernest Ridsdale in 1975. The genus contains only one species, viz. Breonadia salicina, which is found in tropical and southern Africa from Mali and Benin east to Ethiopia, south to South Africa, as well as Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Madagascar.
