Day 6: Bird safari in Kruger Park

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

OOur first bird guide was a game guide, so his methodology was to find big birds from the car. That gives us 4 hornbill species, mostly at the stops . Because all excursions are in a safari park , we also encounter all the large animals. Birds and animals are attracted to river water. Sometimes the water flows invisibly in a pebble bed. Elephants then create wells that other animals also benefit from. Like zebras.
