Saidi, our guide, is very professional and is an expert in birds. He is very well equipped and can show the file of the bird observed, hear its song and give all the explanations requested. Thanks to him, we saw, discovered or re-discovered around fifty species of birds in 6 hours of safari, in addition to zebras, antelopes, buffaloes, white or black rhinoceroses and even a cheetah!... At the At the end of the safari, Saidi sends by email the list of all the species of birds encountered, which is a plus. It's a different way of going on a safari, focusing on these magnificent creatures that are birds, too often forgotten in favor of the Big Five and other mammals in the reserves! Recommended +++
