Southern Africa is home to an incredible number and diversity of birds with well over 800 recorded species.

If you are unable to embark on a long birding safari, even a day trip to the hotspots around Windhoek will yield some highly satisfying birding. A lot of the Namibian endemics and other specials can be found close to the capital. A possible 2 or 3 day extension to include the coast and escarpment will increase the diversity of birds you can find in a short space of time.
