10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 13, 2021

Think of African safaris and many people will naturally envisage herds of elephants and antelope, alongside some of the largest predators in the world. In 2019 I joint-led my seventeenth safari in twelve years with Capture Africa, we are a good team. All very exciting, but for the birder Africa has so much more to offer.

The route Corey and I took in advance of the 2019 African Birding Expo may not be the only optimal way to go, but this approach yielded an absolute bounty of wildlife excitement in just 48 action-packed hours. What makes this destination so magnificent?
