Kgalagadi Self-Drive Birds

By Philip and Ingrid van den Berg

Explore the fascinating world of birds in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park with “Kgalagadi Self-Drive Birds.” This book is a comprehensive guide dedicated to the remarkable adaptation of bird species in one of the most extreme environments on Earth. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, with its expansive blue skies, red dunes, and sparse vegetation, provides a unique backdrop for birdwatching. This guide is meticulously crafted to offer bird enthusiasts and casual observers alike a deeper understanding of the diverse avian life that calls this arid savanna home. Inside, you’ll find detailed cutout images of each bird species, making identification easy and engaging. Alongside these images, the book provides in-depth information on the unique adaptations that enable these birds to thrive in the harsh conditions of the Kgalagadi. From temperature fluctuations that can swing from -10°C at night to 45°C during the day, to the scarcity of water and the fierce dust storms, the resilience of these birds is truly awe-inspiring. Each section of the book focuses on different bird species, highlighting their behaviors, habitats, and survival strategies. Learn how raptors soar majestically over the dunes, how songbirds find sustenance in the sparse vegetation, and how each species has evolved to make the most of the challenging environment. “Kgalagadi Self-Drive Birds” is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the intricate balance of life in the Kgalagadi. Whether you’re planning a self-drive safari or simply intrigued by bird adaptation, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and visual delight. Embark on a journey through the Kgalagadi and discover the incredible stories of its avian inhabitants.

Aanwins vir Kgalagadi se voëls.

Die voëls gaan baie makliker erkenbaar wees deur die pragtige fotos in die boek.

Kgalagadi Birds

Baie oulike boek met interessante feite wat jy nie sommer in ander bronne sal raakloop nie. Ongelukkig bevat die inhoudsopgawe slegs die spesie-name in Engels. Die Afrikaanse name word wel by elke spesie se beskrywing vermeld. Anders sou ek 5 sterre gegee het.

A must for your next trip

This book is of interest to new and experienced twitchers alike. Spent many hours looking through the book while waiting at waterholes, and a useful tool to quickly identify the birds seen most often in the park. Excellent photographs and intersting background to the birds themselves

A long overdue publication! Next year we will be visiting the Kgalagadi for the 32nd time and we were always somewhat confused by especially some of the juvenile raptors. But not any more - the book is a brilliant guide and the images equally brilliant. Well done HPH on yet another winner!
