Birds, mammals and natural scenes from South Aftrica. This trip with my wife Gloria included a 17-day birding excursion with Rockjumper Birding Tours followed by 10 days of touring on our own by car. A wide cross-section of South Africa's habitats was covered, including: moist grassland and savannah in Kruger National Park, high altitude grassland, montane grassland and mountain slopes in the Drakensberg Range, fynbos in the Southern Cape, desert in the Northern Cape, and a pelagic trip to 25 miles offshore out of Cape Town. In total 457 bird species and 59 mammal species were recorded.
