See places that give backLimpopo is bushveld birding. The northern half of Kruger, the Waterberg and the private reserves along the Olifants and Limpopo rivers hold big birds of prey, hornbills, rollers and the river birds of the far north, and the Waterberg is malaria-free.

Summer brings the migrants and the rains; the bush is thick and loud, and the list grows fast. Winter is drier and the birds are easier to see in the open. The stays here are hosts who manage their land with birds in mind.
Questions travellers ask
Is Limpopo good for birding?
Yes, especially in summer, when the migrants arrive. The northern Kruger and the rivers of the far north are known for species that are hard to find further south.
Is there malaria-free birding in Limpopo?
The Waterberg is outside the malaria area.
Will I see the birds a stay lists?
The species on a listing are what the host has recorded on or near the property. Birds move with the season and the weather, so treat a list as what is possible, not what is promised.
