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.

Beste tye van die dag

Na donker en rondom dagbreek. Die Brown Hyena is meestal snags aktief, so 'n nagrit gee die beste kans.
Bedags, rustend. Gewoonlik uit sig in digte bos, 'n gat of water.

Vrae wat reisigers vra

'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Brown Hyena op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Brown Hyena in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Brown Hyena at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Amakhala Game Reserve, Welgevonden Game Reserve, Madikwe Game Reserve, Marakele National Park and Mont Eco Private 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.

Where can you see the Brown Hyena in South Africa?

The Brown Hyena is most recorded in Limpopo (29% of records), North West (24% of records), Northern Cape (20% of records), based on 536 iNaturalist observations. 35 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Brown Hyena on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Brown Hyena?

The Brown Hyena 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; Amakhala Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
