Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has a species list of the Tsavo National Park and the coastal area around Mombasa or old trip reports specific to this area. This is in preparation for an upcoming holiday (beach + safari).
There are many trip reports on the net but they cover much wider areas. Although this is not going to be a 'birding-holiday' there's a potential of several hundred new species (I've never birded Africa before - apart fomr Tunisia and Egypt) and I want to prepare as well as I can. With the vast number of species present I would like to focus on the birds that are likely to occur in area decribed above and don't want to waste time and energy preparing for species I will not be able to see/don't occur there.
I've got the Zimmerman birdguide (which looks very good) but the distribution maps are not really helpful.
Any help would be much appreciated.
