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 840 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 Sycamore Fig op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Sycamore Fig at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Welgevonden 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 Sycamore Fig is most recorded in Mpumalanga (44% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (31% of records), Limpopo (25% of records), based on 840 iNaturalist observations. 31 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Sycamore Fig on site or nearby.
The Sycamore Fig 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; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
