Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Sickle Bush at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Marakele 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 Sickle Bush is most recorded in Limpopo (31% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (26% of records), Mpumalanga (22% of records), based on 2 571 iNaturalist observations. 32 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Sickle Bush on site or nearby.
The Sickle Bush 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; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
