Its great diversity of habitats hosts an incredible bird count of over 900 species, including Africa’s 2nd highest list of endemics and near-endemics (after South Africa).

Just stepping away from the birds for a minute, because you can’t really do any kind of story about Kruger National Park, and not at least mention the animals. The best I could do to mix both the birds and the animals was in the picture at the top of this story. The mighty rhino along with the Cattle Egret.

It was expertly driven and we saw some cool birds en route, for the best of which the driver was kind enough to stop. An excellent and unexpected life bird for me and a wonderful welcome to Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge. Howler monkeys! My first-ever wild monkeys! Monkeys!!!!! Golden-mantled Howlers !
