I'm doing a 2 week package tour(made it affordable for me solo) to Botswana mid feb, and wondered if anyone could advise me on some of the special birds to look out for in the places I am going, and some places to go to see some of these if I can. Our route is Jo-burg to Khama Rhino sanctuary, then to Maun for 1 night before heading into the Okovango for 2 days. Then it's 3 nights at Moremi, another day and night at Maun, Makgadikgadi Pans 1 day, Chobe 2 days then finish at Vic Falls for a couple of days. I have names of places where we're staying if that would help.
I've read some great posts on here by searching the forums, but am trying to be as prepared as I can. The bird I would most like to see (as most people it appears!) is the Pel's Fishing Owl, so if there is any knowledge of recent sightings or advice that would be wonderful. Am gutted I won't get to see the Skimmers, and probably Prantincoles too, but there are clearly loads of amazing birds to see. I will confess to having a particular thing about Owls!
Thanks very much
Adam
