Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Lowe's Monkey sighting in Kakum National Park on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 7 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November and December
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Lowe's Monkey in Kakum National Park on a given day, against about 20% in April, the lowest month. Those are among Kakum National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in June. May–June and August have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lowe's Monkey sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kakum National Park, in our data
Kakum National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lowe's Monkey sightings: about 60% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lowe's Monkey is recorded against all the mammals logged in Kakum National Park (23 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.
