Index: Birds of Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa
| Africa is arguably the most exciting destination for bird watchers. There are more than 900 species in Southern Africa alone. What's so fun about bird watching in Africa is that you can often see the big mammals at the same time. The best time to go birding in Southern Africa is from October to March. For a comprehensive list of where to go birding in Africa, separated by country, see this checklist by our About.com Guide to Birding. Enjoy viewing this wonderful collection of bird photos taken while on safari in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. |
