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.
Curve from 878 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Fever Tree op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Fever Tree at stays in or beside Phinda Private Game Reserve and 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 Fever Tree is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (54% of records), Limpopo (21% of records), Mpumalanga (20% of records), based on 878 iNaturalist observations. 13 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Fever Tree on site or nearby.
The Fever Tree 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. Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
