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.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Little Grebe at stays in or beside Kruger 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 Little Grebe is most recorded in Western Cape (54% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (15% of records), Gauteng (9% of records), based on 3 466 iNaturalist observations. 61 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Little Grebe on site or nearby.
The Little Grebe 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. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis), also known as dabchick, is a member of the grebe family of water birds. The genus name is from Ancient Greek takhus "fast" and bapto "to sink under". The specific ruficollis is from Latin rufus "red" and Modern Latin -collis, "-necked", itself derived from Latin collum "neck".
