Dag 8: Balule Nature Reserve - Bundox Explorer Camp

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

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.
