- Which parks and reserves are best for the Small-spotted Genet in South Africa?
- Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Small-spotted Genet at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kruger National Park, Gondwana 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.
