Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Southern Ground-Hornbill op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.

The Southern Ground-Hornbill 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
