Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the 'Botswana & Namibia' guide.
With more than 250 bird species recorded, Tsau //Khaeb National Park (formerly Sperrgebiet National Park) is a great birding destination. Several offshore islands are important breeding sites for seabird colonies, and Ichaboe Island is inhabited by a large population of African penguins. Aside from seabirds, the park is very good for wetland birds, which can be found at the mouth of the Orange River. Migratory birds are present from November to April.
