Описание к видео KNP: Birds of the Kruger National Park, South Africa. July 2024. Best sightings. HD.

Although you can see Africa's exciting "Big Five" animals in the Kruger National Park, you will definitely be missing out if you ignore the park's birds. Kruger has a plethora of birds and around 500 kinds of birds can be spotted in the park.

Large savannah birds can be spotted, various water birds, raptors, and smaller birds too. The birds are vagrants, migrants, or permanent residents. The best time to see birds in Kruger is during the rainy season from October to March. Winter is less busy as migrants are not coming to the park in the dry season. We still had some good sightings however and even saw a pair of Saddle-billed Storks.

One of the best places to see birds is in rest camps - look in fruiting trees, on lawns, anywhere there is water, and near flowers such as aloes. Also look at waterholes and near rivers when you are on your game drive. Picnic spots are also good places to see birds. I have always found Berg en Dal, Skukuza, and Satara rest camps very fruitful when it comes to seeing birds in the camp. The area around Crocodile Bridge is also very good for birding. Picnic spots are the favourite haunts of birds like Yellow-billed Hornbills and Cape Starlings.

I really love seeing Kruger's owls and always look out for Verreaux's Eagle-Owls which like to rest in large, shady trees. I also enjoy seeing large savannah birds and waterbirds as well. I love colourful bee-eaters, sunbirds, and rollers.
