6th Sept. Learning from experience, we headed off in plenty of time for the long drive to our next rest camp at Satara. But that didn’t mean we didn’t stop for wildlife every few yards! Birding en route, we picked up Retz’s Helmet-Shrike, Groundscraper Thrush, Purple Roller, Red-crested Korhaan and Kori Bustard. Not to mention numerous Elephants, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras, two White Rhinos and a Black-backed Jackal. We checked into our thatched rondavel at Satara to find we were sharing it with Little Swifts nesting under the eaves.
Bird species total: 3119
