Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Creamstriped Owl sighting in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 41 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Creamstriped Owl in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and May–October, the lowest months. That is one of Gorongosa National Park's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 15 mm in May.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Creamstriped Owl sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 16
Of the 16 parks where we can rate Creamstriped Owl sightings, Gorongosa National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Gonarezhou National Park (Zimbabwe, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Creamstriped Owl is recorded against all the insects logged in Gorongosa National Park (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
