Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the White Milkwood at stays in or beside Gondwana 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 White Milkwood is most recorded in Western Cape (63% of records), Eastern Cape (29% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (7% of records), based on 5 295 iNaturalist observations. 7 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the White Milkwood on site or nearby.
The White Milkwood 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
