We'll be there in a week - three nights at Mopani, one at Sirheni. Two questions - is that good birding territory and what's the raptor population like - do most of them leave this time of the year?

Howzit Jeff,

Martial, tawny and brown snake eagles are a distinct possibility, as are black shouldered kites, while looking into the skies often finds bateleurs. African harrierhawk (gymnogene), gabar and dark chanting goshawk, African hawk eagle, lizard buzzard, bat hawk and black chested snake-eagle would be a bonus!

Have seen all except bat hawk.

Thanks BB - appreciated.
