Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Purple-crested Turaco op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Purple-crested Turaco at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Sabi Sand 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 Purple-crested Turaco is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (62% of records), Mpumalanga (28% of records), Limpopo (9% of records), based on 1 255 iNaturalist observations. 14 places to stay on Spekboom in Mpumalanga have recorded the Purple-crested Turaco on site or nearby.
The Purple-crested Turaco 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. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
