The Bundox Explorer Camp was the most beautiful location, and it helped that we were the only guests. Besides the big game we also see a lot of birds. Like the vulture at a killed forest pig, birds at a drinking hole or a bustard (a bird) on the road. The guides are having fun tracking, and they are having fun doing it. But also the sun deck is a nice place to see birds.
