Follow the very successful itinerary of October 1999 in which we netted 288 species in ten days of birding, including roughly 70 southern African endemics.

Future November trips are anticipated, and this trip can be linked to the Madagascar trip.

Steve and Kathy Martin did this trip in 2000 and filed a glowing report.

A trip report and field checklist will be forwarded upon receipt of your deposit.  Our 1999 trip report can be downloaded as PDF (310KB) by clicking here.
