Birds
South Africa Parks
Philip lives in South Africa and has authored many guidebooks to African destinations, including ‘The Rough Guide to Game Parks of South Africa’.
Tembe Elephant Park has over 340 bird species recorded and is a birder’s paradise. The extensive checklist is due to the variety of habitats, such as sand forest, scrub and acacia woodland. Some tropical birds are at the most southerly point of their range, including African broadbill and Rudd’s apalis. The guides are knowledgeable, and most birders will walk away with several lifers under their belt. Migratory birds are present from November to April.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Tembe Elephant Park is a birder’s paradise year-round, but November to April, when migrants from Europe and northern Africa are present, is the very best time. General wildlife viewing is better during the dry winter months of June through September.
