We encountered 2 hours delay at London due to an issue with a door of the plane, we arrived at Cape Town 1 hour later than intially plan. Getting around transport I pre-booked a Toyota Corolla through The price was around 400 for 13 days. Great White Shark Diving The Gansbaii Backpackers offers an interesting package: night + breakfast + lunch + Great White Shark diving for only 1000 Rand/pers. It s quite a good opportunity because other companies charge the dive only for around 1400 Rand/pers. Accomodations I pre-booked all the accommodations Springbok: Springbok Hotel 624 Rand/room Pofadder: 7de Laan Guesthouse 200 Rand/pers/night Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park o Twee Rivieren Camp Family Cotage (FA2/4ZA) 753 Rand Family Cotage (FA4) 673 Rand o Nossob Chalet (CH3Z) Rand o Mata Mata Chalet (FCH6) Rand Brandvlei: Kolarita B&B 230 Rand/pers/night Clanwilliam: Rand/pers/night Gansbaii: Gansbaii Backpackers - included in the White Shark diving package Swellendam: Swellendam Backpackers 60 /double room Food The food was quite cheap and at every place we find easily a small restaurant, sometimes in service station. Weather The weather was good the entire stay except the last day in Cape Town where we encounter stormy condi tions with lots of wind and heavy rains. In the Kalahari, temperatures reached around 40 C at noon but strangely we didn t suffer from heat. In Brandvlei area it was quite cold early in the morning (around 5 C) especially after we spent some days in the Kalahari. South Africa

4 Health & Safety We didn t encounter any troubles during our stay. References There are lots of trip reports available via and we used a lot the Southern African Birdfinder (see literature section). Bird sounds I collected lots of bird sounds from and I used an Ipod coupling to a Radioshack. It was very helpful during the entire trip. Literature We took with us the following literature: Southern African Birdfinder by C. Cohen and C. Spottiswood SASOL Birds of Southern Africa by i. Sinclair Field Guide to Mammals of Southern Africa by C. Stuart and T. Stuart LBJs by Faansie Peacock Sites visited & birding facts All the sites visited are explained in details in the Southern African Birdfinder. I will just add some notes of interest. In bold are the specialities we found at each spot. Track Kamieskroon - Springbok On the N7 68 km before Springbok turn right at , and continue along the road. At the crossing we saw our only Acacia Pied Barbet of the trip. Continue for 15 km and then search for the Damara Canary. We continue along this track to Springbok by stopping at every rocky area to tape the Kopje Warbler and finally at we found a couple feeding a young just before a gate. Interesting species: Luwig s Bustard, Acacia Pied Barbet, Karoo Thrush, Pale-winged Starling, Gray Tit, Kopje Warbler, Dusky Sunbird, Streaky-headed Seeeater, Damara Canary Koa Dunes We spent 1 evening and 1 morning in this area. Red Lark was easy to spot, it s not necessary to go over the fence. They regularly come along the road. We didn t find the water place I mentioned on the Birdinfer s map. At the water place E i t s in fact a cattle enclosure with a drinking trough with some water coming outside. We stay there 2 hours but we did nt see any Sclater s Lark. It s a good spot to photographs larks coming to drink (Gray-backed Sparrow-lark, Fawn-colored Lark) and Scaly Weaver. Interesting species: Ludwig s Bustard, White-quilled Bustard, Pygmy Falcon, Karoo Long-billed Lark, Red lark, Fawn-colored Lark, Social Weavr, Scaly Weaver. Track Koa Dunes Pofadder We took this track in the evening and in the morning to go back to Pofadder. It s easy to see Spotted Eagle-Owl in the evening on the electricity poles. On the last day here we drove slowly and stop at every cows drinking trough. We finally found a group of Stark s Lark. Interesting species: Spotted Eagle-Owl, Sabota Lark, Stark s Lark, Social Weaver South Africa

5 Onseekpans The main reason to visit this place is the Rosy-Faced Lovebird where, easy to see at this place. It s also the only place where we saw the Orange River White-eye. Park your car near the mast flag in front of the military station and walk along the small stream. All the species we saw were in the scrub along this stream. The track between Pofadder and Onseekpans is in very bad condition with lots of potholes but passable with a normal car. Interesting species: Karoo Bustard, Social Weaver, Scaly Weaver, Rosy-faced Lovebird, Orange River White-eye Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park We didn t stop along the road between Upington and the park, except 30km before the entrance at the crossing with the R360, in order to arrive as early as possible. It was a very rewarding stop with Crimson-breasted Gonolek, Mariqua Flycatcher and Whi te-browed Sparrow-Weaver, but these species are very common inside the park. This park offers the possibility to see a good diversity of birds and also lots of mammals, especially cats. We spent 3,5 days in the park and it was enough to see all our targets (birds and mammals). It s the minimum time if you want to cover the area between Twee Rivieren Nossob Mata Mata. The distance between these camps are quite huge and the speed is limited to 30 km/hours. The area north of Nossob is very interesting, especially for raptors, we spent a few hours there but maybe i t could be interesting to spend one more night at Nossob in order to explore this area. As in any other parks in South Africa it s not allowed to step out of the car except at camps and designated areas. There is only a restaurant at Twee Rivieren where the food is good and not so expensive. The shops in Nossob and Twee Rivieren offer the minimum to live: meat, beers and some canned food. We brought lots of water and some foods we bought in Upington. All the cottages we rented were furnished with kitchen ustensils. At Nossob, a group of friendly South Africa visitors allowed us to use their brai in order to cook our T-Bones. Thanks again for their hospitality! Some notes of some targets: Violet-eared Waxbill: we found a group of bird in a tree in Nossob camp when looking for roosting owls. Southern Whi te-faced Owl: we searched ex tensively in Nossob camp 2 times but no luck, we found only Pearl-spotted Owlet and Barn Owl. In Mata -Mata camp a good spot seems to be the big tree in front of the fuel station but we were unable to locate one there as well. Finally we taped 2 individus in Mata Mata camp. Crimson-breasted Gonolek: this species was very easy to find in the park. Burchell s Sandgrouse: we saw hundreds of Namaqua Sandgrouse but we saw only 3 Burchell s flying high in the sky early morning north of Nossob. Jacobin Cuckoo: it was quite a surprise to find 2 birds when leaving the Mata Mata camp in the morning. We saw also 3 Africa Cuckoo. Rufous-cheeked Nightjar: we saw at least 30 individus during a night drive from Mata Mata. Interesting bird species: Whi te-quilled Bustard, Burchell's Sandgrouse, Jacobin Cuckoo, Southern White-faced Owl, Rufous-cheeked Nightjar, Crimson-breasted Gonolek, Ashy Tit, Black-chested Prinia, Chat Flycatcher, Mariqua Flycatcher, Kalahari Scrub-Robin, Dusky Sunbird, Scaly Weaver, Social Weaver, White-browed Sparrow-Weaver, Black-cheeked Waxbill, Violet-eared Waxbill Interesting mammal species: Lion, Cheetah, Leopard, African Wild Cat, Small Spotted Genet, Brown Hyena, Spotted Hyena, Honey Badger, Black-backed Jackal, Cape Fox, Bat-eared Fox, Giraffe, Gemsbok, Springbok, Common Eland, Red Hartebeest South Africa

6 Brandvlei area Our target in this area was the Sclater s Lark. We walked the entire morning in different fields but no success. The discovery of a pair of Double-banded Courser on a field along the R357 was a good surprise. Interesting bird species: Double-banded Courser, Karoo Long-billed Lark, Red Lark Kransvleipoort We spent 2 hours the first evening and then 2 hours early in the morning the nex t day. On the first evening we heard a Protea Canary singing but we failed to locate i t. As it was our main target we came back the next morning and after 1 hour we finally find a male singing. Interesting bird species: Black Goshawk, Streaky-headed Seedeater, Protea Canary Lambert s Bay We walked in the dunes 10 km south of Lambert s Bay at , Quickly we found our target: Cape Lark. Two birds were parading and easy to locate. A pair of Southern Penduline-Tit was a nice bonus. Interesting bird species: Southern Penduline-Tit, Cape Lark, Rooi Els We walked 2 hours along the path east of the village but we failed to locate the resident Rockjumper we saw a few years back. Interesting bird species: Cape Siskin Harold Porter Botanical Garden We visited again this nice little reserve in order to see Victorin s Warbler but no luck again. We saw an unexpected Red-chested Cuckoo. A couple of hours are enough to visit this area. Interesting bird species: Red-chested Cuckoo, African Paradise-Flycatcher, Olive Thrush, Piping Cisticola, Cape Sugarbird, Orange-breasted Sunbird, Swee Waxbill, Cape Siskin Aghulla s Plain Loop This area is one of my favorite places near Cape Town. We accessed the area via the hamlet of Buffeljagsrivier around 7 km north of Swellendam and we explore the area until De Hoop Nature reserve. Interesting bird species: Stanley Bustard, Black Bustard, Karoo Bustard, Blue Crane, Grey -winged Francolin, Piping Cisticola, Cape Clapper Lark, Agulhas Lark De Hoop We found easily several Southern Tchagra in the thickets around the camping area. Interesting bird species: Cape Griffon, Southern Tchagra, Cape Clapper Lark De Mond The directions given in the Birdfinders are still ok but the Damara Tern colony seems nearly ex tirped. We saw only 2 individus! Interesting bird species: Damara Tern Grootvaderbosch We spent one morning in this nice forest. We saw Amethyst Sunbird near the park office. We saw the specialities quite easily. Knysna Warbler was very difficult to see, as expected, but with lot of patience we finally had a good look at one individu at the know site near the stream. South Africa

7 We found an unexpected Lemon Dove in the lower part of the trail. At the crossing near the stream continue on the gravel track following this stream. We saw the dove in the understorey of the big trees forest. Interesting bird species: Lemon Dove, Gray Cuckooshrike, African Crested Flyctacher, Terrestrial Brownbul, Knysna Warbler, Amethyst Sunbird, Forest Canary South Africa
