Our first birding weekend in July was a great success!
We are planning another guided birding camp at Kwandaba Game Lodge (www.kwandaba.co.za), Rust de Winter from 15 – 17 November 2013.
Rihann Geyser, an avifaunal specialist with more than 30 years experience in birding will be the guide.
Ulrich Oberprieler will join us on Saturday and will present a 1 hour talk on EAGLES after dinner.
Birding will mainly be done on foot and we have also arranged (with a third party) to have a boat available at an additional R100 for birding on the dam to view birds that are difficult to see from the shore.
You can choose to attend the Camp from Friday 15 November (arrival 16:00 – 17:00) and go birding with Rihann the next day (16 November) and depart at 15:00 or from Saturday 16 November (arrival 16:00 – 17:00) and go birding with Rihann the next day (17 November) and depart at 15:00 or you can choose to attend the entire weekend.
For the more energetic, we will arrange a night drive …………
The cost will be R650,00 per person per day, sharing, (Single R750.00) and it includes breakfast and dinner. The boat trip costs R100,00 additional per person (limited space).
Due to limited space on the boat, separate bookings for the boat trips are essential. We plan to have 3 guided boat trips per day (11:00 to 13:00, 13:00 to 15:00 and 15:00 to 17:00)
Please bring warm clothes and comfortable walking shoes for the bird walk.
