Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Ein Nachweis bedeutet, dass ein Gastgeber den Crested Barbet auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Crested Barbet at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Timbavati Private Nature 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 Crested Barbet is most recorded in Mpumalanga (26% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (22% of records), Limpopo (22% of records), based on 2 646 iNaturalist observations. 22 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Crested Barbet on site or nearby.
The Crested Barbet 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; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The crested barbet (Trachyphonus vaillantii) ('trachys'=rough, 'phone'=voice, sound') is a sub-Saharan bird in the Lybiidae family. Its specific name commemorates François Levaillant, a famed French naturalist.
