What can I say? I just LOVE birds! They are all so beautiful, how could you not love them? There is such a variety in Southern Africa, especially in the Kruger National Park (well over 500 have been recorded), and they are everywhere. The whole KNP is a Birder's Paradise as far as I am concerned, and I sure do wish that I lived closer, because I would be there all the time. Don't get me wrong, I am a lover of all creatures, great and small, and I truly enjoy all the different types of vegetation, especially the beautiful Baobab, Sausage, Fever Trees, and the list can go on and on. Here is a small sample of the Beauties that I have been blessed to see.

Thanks for giving us such a wonderful show of birds!
by: Jennifer

I just love birds and could sit and watch them all day long. I find the hides give me great pleasure because of the number of different birds that come to the hides.

Very nice photos Mary Jane!
by: Mario

Two common and two rare sightings. We see the ground hornbill and oxpeckers on nearly every trip to the Kruger but the Hoopoe and helemet shrike - hardly ever!

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa

"Having a passion for the region itself and having to know about all dynamics, water holes and ideal roads for a period of 6 years - I wish I had this guide on my first trip already!" - Morkel Erasmus, Secunda, South Africa

"Mario and Jenny take you to places that are not always visited, and their descriptions of the more remote camps will allow you to make an informed decision without wasting time and money"  -  Bob & Sherry Shepardson, DeBary, Florida, USA

"Your time and money are valuable and the information in this book will help you save both."         - Don Stilton, Florida, USA

"As a photographer and someone who has visited and taken photographs in the Pilanesberg National Park, I can safely say that with the knowledge gained from this eBook, your experiences and photographs will be much more memorable." - Alastair Stewart, BC, Canada
