This book is a comprehensive guide dedicated to the remarkable adaptation of bird species in one of the most extreme environments on Earth. The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which straddles the border of Botswana and South Africa, features expansive blue skies, red dunes, and sparse vegetation, and provides a unique backdrop for birdwatching.
Kgalagadi Self-Drive: Birds is meticulously crafted to offer bird enthusiasts and casual observers alike a deeper understanding of the diverse avian life that calls this arid savanna home. Inside, you'll find detailed cutout images of each bird species, making identification easy and engaging. Alongside these images, the book provides in-depth information on the unique adaptations that enable these birds to thrive in the harsh conditions of the Kgalagadi.
