Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Holub’s Sandveld Lizard sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 59th most-seen of the 62 reptiles 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.
January and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Holub’s Sandveld Lizard in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and June–December, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Holub’s Sandveld Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kruger National Park, in our data
Kruger National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Holub’s Sandveld Lizard sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Holub’s Sandveld Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kruger National Park (6 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.
