Nowhere else in Africa do the preconceived ideas of the continent really exist in such living detail; tall, red-robed Maasai herding their skinny cattle, endless grasslands studded with flat-topped Acacia trees and grazed by herds of zebras and wildebeest, and dramatic volcanic calderas brimming with big game and fierce predators!

And so, I went on the American Birding Association Safari to South Africa. That was easily fixed by adding a post-Safari trip to Eastern South Africa, led by dashing Rockjumper guide Clayton Burne, to my itinerary. I was not on one of those lucky groups, but I did get to see a Secretarybird on my Eastern South Africa trip.)

I remember one guide in the south of Africa. If you cannot share the bird with your guest, try not to share the experience because it makes everything they have seen a little league birding, compared to your mega tick. He suffered from the lack of experience as a traveler and someone who has hired guides himself.

I birded savannas of Southern Africa, I birded India and Central America, and I always missed having a local mammal guide with me. Yes, field guides to other groups of organisms, as there’s hardly any room left in your baggage or the energy to carry it. Yet, those bird guides are hefty. Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales.
