“EARLY BIRD” CALL

Please be advised that bookings for our 2011 event will open on 15 July 2010. We would like to afford everyone the same opportunity to book for the camp of their choice so any bookings sent before 08h00 on 15 July 2010 will be returned to guests for re-submission on the official opening date and time. Requests will be dealt with in the order that they are received. (08h00 instead of 00h00 is to give those who only have access to e-mail at work equal opportunity.)

Next year we are offering three weekends and the details are as follows:

1st Weekend : 28 to 30 January 2011
Berg en Dal, Crocodile Bridge, Letaba, Lower Sabie, Mopani, Punda Maria, Satara, Shingwedzi, Talamati*

2nd Weekend : 4 to 6 February 2011
Bateleur*, Orpen, Satara, Shimuwini*, Sirheni*, Skukuza,

3rd Weekend : 11 to 13 February 2011
Shingwedzi, Pretoriuskop, Talamati *

*Bookings for Talamati, Bateleur Shimuwini & Sirheni must be for a minimum of 3 nights and must include Thursday. Guests will be charged for Thursday night’s booking at the relevant SANParks rate. Bush camps have 4-bed bungalows so bookings must be for a minimum of 4 guests, and thereafter in multiples of 4.

The cost of the event is R1650.00 per person for standard rest camps and R1800.00 for bush camps*. This includes two nights shared accommodation, two dinners and approximately 8-12 hours bird viewing / game drives.

We are happy to make bookings on your behalf for any additional nights required, (unfortunately only nights before the event). You will be charged at the relevant SANParks standard rate. Simply complete the section on the booking form, giving as much detail as possible. We kindly ask that you make your requirements known at this stage, because it is very difficult to secure additional bookings later.

Whilst every attempt will be made to place you in the camp of your choice, please note that this cannot be guaranteed.

Please complete the attached booking form and return it by email to westrandbirders@gmail.com. Remember to save the form and send it to us – do not simply reply to this email.

Unfortunately we no longer accept telephonic bookings but you are welcome to contact Monika on 084 304 3017 if you have any questions.

Reminder that booking opens on 15 July 2010!!!

Thank you for your booking! Please submit this form by email after 08h00 on 15 July 2010 to westrandbirders@gmail.com. We will be in touch with you shortly.

How could you put me with that bunch of nutheads Johan? If they talk half the nonsense they do on the forums, I will need a week in Kruger alone just to recover!

On the other hand, we will prob have all the fun, and we get to meet (the now notorious)WTM!

See you have assembled yourself a seriously good team!

Looking forward. You mentioned that you are in Northern Kruger from 2Feb. Where? We will be in Punda from the 2nd.

If you are in time for these, you will automatically feed into the rest of the schedule. Unless, if you oversleep and miss the 02:00 wake-up call on Saturday
