Dag 16: Bougainvillea Safari Lodge, Selela

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

Often a day with a journey on bad roads is not the place to see anything special. But today we see the most special thing of the whole trip: a secretary bird catches a rabbit, tramples it to death and calmly eats it. And all this happens in the field next to the road, which we can reach by car. In addition to the secretary bird, we see even more beautiful things: a rosy-patched bush shrike and a chestnut-banded plover.
