Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Tiger sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 290th most-seen of the 748 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange Tiger in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, June, August and October–February, the lowest months. Those are among Kruger National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 110 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange Tiger sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Orange Tiger sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Orange Tiger that you can see in Kruger National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Sundowner Moth (about 20%), Creamstriped Owl (about 10%) and Crimson-Speckled Flunkey (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange Tiger is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (14 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.
