Where to see the Round-leaved Bloodwood in South Africa

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Round-leaved Bloodwood at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Ndumo 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 Round-leaved Bloodwood is most recorded in Limpopo (70% of records), Mpumalanga (27% of records), based on 373 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Round-leaved Bloodwood on site or nearby.

The Round-leaved Bloodwood 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; Ndumo Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Pterocarpus rotundifolius, the round-leaved bloodwood, is a species of fabaceous tree that is native to mesic and well-watered woodlands of Africa south of the equator.
