Namibia
and Northern Botswana 28th Nov–
18th Dec 2004 
- This is a report on a trip to Namibia
and northern Botswana by Richard Rae and
Emer Callanan. The trip was based around the best birding
sites, and most time was spent on birding....... we did
have good views of most of the endemic and near-endemic
species of Namibia.

Botswana
9th Dec 2002 - 27th Feb 2003
- Supplementing the earlier tour, this trip
covered not only Botswana, but also those parts of South Africa
not visited on the first journey, i.e. Kruger National Park, all
sites in Kwazulu-Natal and short excursions into Swaziland and
Lesotho. Jos Stratford eventually netted 715 species on
this mammoth tour of Southern Africa.
Botswana and Victoria Falls
October 2002
- The only real hazard in Botswana is the wild
animals, remember to give them maximum respect and they always
have right of way on the roads. The advice in the National Parks
is never to leave your vehicle and anyway most animals are used
to them so you can drive up real close....Tony Coatsworth

Birding Sites near
Gaborone (Botswana)
- Approximately the size of France or Texas
and landlocked in the heart of southern Africa, Botswana has about
577 bird species, with more than 500 being regular - as well as
12 globally Important Bird Areas (IBA) covering 130,000 km2 or
25% of the country's territory!.....Dragan Simic reports
Botswana
and Zimbabwe August 1997
- In August 1997 I spent more than three weeks
in Zimbabwe and Botswana. The main objective of the trip was to
see as many birds as possible, but the great wonder of both countries
is not just the birds, but a second, almost equal feature, the
game. The main sites visited in Botswana were the Okavango River
Delta, Moremi Wildlife Reserve and Chobe National Park... Jan
Vermeulen reports (a big report!)
Namibia, Botswana
and Zimbabwe 1998
- This is a report on my visit to Southern
Africa this autumn. On this trip the first part was an overland
tour of Namibia, followed by two days in Botswana and finally
a week in Zimbabwe...David Kelly Reports
Cape, Namibia and the
Shakawe area in Botswana14th October
- 12th November 1996
- If Pel's Fishing-Owl and White-backed
Night-Heron are a 'have to see' on your trip, you have to
go to Shakawe. Shakawe is the first village in Botswana. The Shakawe
Fishing Camp (Lodge) on the banks of the Okavango, is run by Barry
and Elaine Price and is an excellent place to stay, with a remnant
of mature forest in the grounds.....Jan Vermeulen reports
