The rock monitor (Varanus albigularis), also called the leguaan, likkewaan or black-throated monitor, is a species of monitor lizard found in Central, East and southern Africa.
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 1,370 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.

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 Rock Monitor op die eiendom of naby gesien. Dit is nooit 'n waarborg van 'n waarneming nie.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Rock Monitor at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game 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 Rock Monitor is most recorded in Limpopo (30% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (12% of records), based on 1 370 iNaturalist observations. 16 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Rock Monitor on site or nearby.
The Rock Monitor 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; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
