FOR THE BIRDS

 
LILLAC-BREASTED ROLLER
When most people think of Africa, images of the great cats, elephant, rhino, crocs, hippo and other animals come to mind. More often people think of great migrations and wild creatures than they think of birds. Africa is a true bird lovers paradise. You will find birds of every size, shape, and color... from the Grey-Lourie that has blown many hunts with its GO AWAY call, to the ugly looking and goofy sounding flightless Southern Ground Bill, from stunning to odd, and everything in between, Kruger Park is home to 238 species of wild, wonderful, and exotic birds.
