What is the Southern Boubou?

The southern boubou (Laniarius ferrugineus) ('ferrugineus' - rust-coloured) is a bushshrike. Though these passerine birds and their relations were once included with true shrikes in the Laniidae, they are not closely related to that family.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Southern Boubou in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Southern Boubou at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Marakele 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.

Where can you see the Southern Boubou in South Africa?

The Southern Boubou is most recorded in Western Cape (45% of records), Eastern Cape (18% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (14% of records), based on 3 186 iNaturalist observations. 61 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Southern Boubou on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Southern Boubou?

The Southern Boubou 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; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
