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 Pearl-spotted Owlet auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Pearl-spotted Owlet at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve 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 Pearl-spotted Owlet is most recorded in Mpumalanga (40% of records), Limpopo (36% of records), Northern Cape (13% of records), based on 697 iNaturalist observations. 29 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Pearl-spotted Owlet on site or nearby.
The Pearl-spotted Owlet 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
