Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hemprich's Hornbill sighting in Kidepo Valley National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 283rd most-seen of the 332 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hemprich's Hornbill in Kidepo Valley National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–March, the lowest months. April and May have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hemprich's Hornbill sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kidepo Valley National Park, in our data
Kidepo Valley National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hemprich's Hornbill sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hemprich's Hornbill is recorded against all the birds logged in Kidepo Valley National Park (8 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.
