Londolozi: Birding with Talley and Freddy


Our ranger Talley and tracker Freddy did a fantastic job of helping us round out our adventure by finding all kinds of new birds for us. We think they enjoyed it as much as we did, because they said most guests are only interested in the big five and don't take the time to sit and wait and admire the birds and their behavior.
