Description: A must-have book for bird lovers everywhere! Game Drive Birds of Southern Africa is designed to be rewarding to birdwatchers around the world, while being particularly useful to visitors to southern Africa. While not a comprehensive guidebook, it covers the birds one may see on a regular game drive and will help readers become familiar with the 300 most common species. Southern Africa has a great variety of different climates, biomes, vegetation types and general habitats, which in turn give rise to an amazing richness of birdlife - there are over 960 species in the region.
