Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 1,457 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Kori Bustard at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Madikwe Game Reserve and Welgevonden 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 Kori Bustard is most recorded in Mpumalanga (34% of records), Limpopo (26% of records), Northern Cape (21% of records), based on 1 456 iNaturalist observations. 41 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Kori Bustard on site or nearby.
The Kori Bustard 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
