Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Senegal Mabuya sighting in Kakum National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Senegal Mabuya in Kakum National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January and September–November, the lowest months. May–June and August have too few records to rate.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Senegal Mabuya sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Senegal Mabuya sightings, Kakum National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Taï National Park (Ivory Coast, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Senegal Mabuya is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kakum National Park (5 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.
