Where to see 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.

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.

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.
