Darker months are each park's own best season, when thinner bush or scarce water makes viewing easier. A sighting is never guaranteed.

Best hours of the day

Early morning and late afternoon. The Slender Mongoose is out through the day, and easiest to watch before the heat.
Midday heat. Often resting in shade or near water.

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Slender Mongoose at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kruger National Park, Welgevonden Game Reserve and Madikwe Game Reserve.
