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 933 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.

'n Aantekening beteken 'n gasheer het die Knobthorn op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Knobthorn at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Timbavati Private Nature 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 Knobthorn is most recorded in Mpumalanga (54% of records), Limpopo (35% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (10% of records), based on 933 iNaturalist observations. 35 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Knobthorn on site or nearby.
The Knobthorn 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; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The Knobthorn (Senegalia nigrescens) is a deciduous African tree, growing up to 18 m tall, that is found in savanna regions from West Africa to South Africa. The tree is resistant to drought, not resistant to frost and its hard wood is resistant to termites.
