Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Boehm's Bush Squirrel sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 13 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Boehm's Bush Squirrel in Kibale National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, May and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boehm's Bush Squirrel sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Boehm's Bush Squirrel sightings, Kibale National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 60%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boehm's Bush Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Kibale National Park (7 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.
