Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Jackson's Forest Lizard sighting in Nairobi National Park on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 13 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Jackson's Forest Lizard in Nairobi National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and June, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jackson's Forest 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 Nairobi National Park, in our data
Nairobi National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jackson's Forest Lizard sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jackson's Forest Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Nairobi National Park (29 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.
