Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Great White Pelican at stays in or beside Phinda Private Game Reserve and Kruger National Park. 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 Great White Pelican is most recorded in Western Cape (86% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), based on 1 169 iNaturalist observations. 32 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Great White Pelican on site or nearby.
The Great White Pelican 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. Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The great white pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) also known as the eastern white pelican, rosy pelican or white pelican is a bird in the pelican family. It breeds from southeastern Europe through Asia and Africa, in swamps and shallow lakes.
