Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Triple-Stripe Peacock sighting in Kruger National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 358th 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.
January, July–August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Triple-Stripe Peacock in Kruger National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–June, September–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Triple-Stripe Peacock sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Triple-Stripe Peacock sightings, Kruger National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Triple-Stripe Peacock is recorded against all the insects logged in Kruger National Park (11 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.
