Hello everyone!
I just registrated as I figured out this looks like a great place to ask for advice for my upcoming trip to Namibia in November.
I'm going with my university class as part of a course in biodiversity, so it's not technically a birding trip, although birds will be included in our surveys. Also I'm not having freedom of movement as we are following a predestined route, but I do think it will bring us to most interesting areas for birding as well as everything else.
We will be going on the 9th of November, staying untill the 1th of December.
The travel schedule looks like this:
Windhoek - Waterberg - Rundu (near the Kavango) - Mahangu Game Reserve - Popa Falls - Rundu - Etosha (Okaukuejo) - Palmwag - Brandberg - Swakopmund - Blutkoppe - Windhoek
As this will be my first trip to Southern Africa, pretty much everything is on my wanted list, although I guess the endemics and near-endemics will have some priority. I have already done some research on the localities for those species most desirable, but of course any help is welcome! The same goes for all other species that might be of interest/more tricky etc. of course!
I'll return with more specific information when someone replies.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
