Hello Tweets,
A friend has invited us to accompany him to South Africa in September. He’s not a birder, but would be willing for us to take some birding days while there. I believe he’s thinking he'll plan things himself rather than hire a tour guide/company. So, a couple of questions for those who’ve been there in recent years:
The State Department has some pretty unnerving risk alerts for SA, which make me wonder whether it’s actually a good destination in current times, or whether it’d be better to wait until it seems safer. If you’ve been there, either on your own or with a tour company, I’d be interested to hear how safe you felt.
In terms of birding, are there companies or guides you would recommend for outings?
