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.

		We are looking forward to March 2007 when we will again be in Namibia travelling with Albert. This will be our sixth trip in Namibia with Albert, which speaks for itself. We will again be at Hobetere (one of our favourite places) and Etosha of course. This time we will be visiting game reserves and lodges new to us. Is there anything left for us to see after six trips? We hope so. John & Hilary Wilshin, Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. wilshin(AT)talktalk.net In recent years I have been on two safari trips with Albert covering most of Namibia and parts of Botswana and Zambia and have found them to be a most enjoyable experience. From the time that Albert meets you at the airport in his friendly and competent manner you know that you are going to be well cared for. His organisational ability and attention to detail makes he whole trip completely stress free. Albert has an amazing knowledge of the countryside and all the creatures both human and animal that you come across on your travels. However his great love is for the birds of Southern Africa and he can recognise a species when to the rest of us it is still just a speck in the sky. His never ending knowledge of the habitat of the various species makes it nearly always possible to find any requests for particular sightings. This makes the trip exciting, interesting, and a great learning experience. I am absolutely confident that anyone who goes on a trip with Albert will want to repeat the experience as soon as possible.Mrs. Shirley Simpson, Jordanstown.
