BEAUTIFUL BIRDS OF AFRICA

Africa, with its vast and diverse landscapes, is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. With over 2,500 species of birds to behold, more than fifty percent of which are found exclusively on the continent, Africa offers a treasure trove of avian wonders.

While on safari you will have an opportunity to encounter many different bird species, so have your camera ready!  During my safari travels, I have seen these five captivating birds that call Africa their home many times.

1.    Kingfishers

2.    African Fish Eagle

3.    Lilac-Breasted Roller

4.    Grey Crowned Cranes

5.    Bee-eaters

Africa's avian diversity is both fascinating and awe-inspiring. From the striking colors of kingfishers and roller birds to the regal grace of crowned cranes and the captivating flights of bee-eaters, Africa truly offers a birdwatching experience like no other.
