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 Giraffe op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Giraffe at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Augrabies Falls 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 Giraffe is most recorded in Mpumalanga (34% of records), Limpopo (23% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), based on 7 512 iNaturalist observations. 7 places to stay on Spekboom in Northern Cape have recorded the Giraffe on site or nearby.
The Giraffe 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. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Augrabies Falls National Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
