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.

Donkerder maanden zijn het beste seizoen van elk park, wanneer dunne begroeiing of schaars water het kijken makkelijker maakt. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Brown Hyena at stays in or beside Amakhala 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 Brown Hyena is most recorded in Limpopo (29% of records), North West (24% of records), Northern Cape (20% of records), based on 536 iNaturalist observations. 7 places to stay on Spekboom in Eastern Cape have recorded the Brown Hyena on site or nearby.
The Brown Hyena 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. Amakhala Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
