Which parks and reserves are best for the Common Quail in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Common Quail at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Madikwe 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.
