The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is an African crocodile, the largest freshwater predator in Africa, and may be considered the second largest extant reptile in the world, after the saltwater crocodile.
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.

Donkerder maande is elke park se eie beste seisoen, wanneer yl bos of skaars water dit makliker maak om te kyk. 'n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.

Elke bespreking op Spekboom ondersteun bewaring.
'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Nile Crocodile op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Nile Crocodile at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Timbavati Private Nature 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 Nile Crocodile is most recorded in Mpumalanga (49% of records), Limpopo (28% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (18% of records), based on 3 542 iNaturalist observations. 15 places to stay on Spekboom in Mpumalanga have recorded the Nile Crocodile on site or nearby.
The Nile Crocodile 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; 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.
