Birdwatching in Botswana

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		I have lived in Botswana for over 20 years and have an excellent knowledge of the country and its birds. Around Gaborone there is a range of habitats, including acacia and broadleaved woodland, savanna, rocky hills, agricultural land and man-made dams. These habitats are easily accessible and support a wide range of bird species; more than 430 species have been recorded in the Gaborone area. Short-clawed Lark, a localised endemic restricted to southeastern Botswana and nearby areas of South Africa, is easily located on agricultural land near Gaborone.
