Where can you see the Crested Barbet in South Africa?

The Crested Barbet is most recorded in Mpumalanga (26% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (22% of records), Limpopo (22% of records), based on 2 646 iNaturalist observations. 22 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Crested Barbet on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Crested Barbet?

The Crested Barbet 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; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
