Zambia is
well known as a birding destination with over 740 species so far
recorded. Of these some 400 may be found in the Zambezi Valley.
Birding in the vicinity of the Lodge is
excellent and there have been sightings of such sought after species as
the African (Angola) Pitta, Pel's Fishing Owl and the Bat Hawk in the
area. It is our aim,
commencing the 2008 season and with the help of guests who are
interested in birding and willing to assist, to create a register of
bird sightings to build a comprehensive list of species actually seen in
this locality as, to our knowledge, no detailed records have been
produced in recent times if at all in the past. Your help is
invited.
The Lodge and its surrounds provide a diverse range of habitat from
riverine forest, huge cliff faces, sand banks, reed beds and steep river
banks to tree clad gorges and rocky inlets in fast flowing water. |
