Introduction

This eight day tour visited many of the top birding and mammal watching areas of northern and central Namibia.  The birding was fantastic—highlights included Monteiro’s Hornbill, Rockrunner, White-tailed Shrike, Hartlaub’s Francolin, Rosy-faced Lovebird, Ruppell’s Parrot, and Dune and Gray Lark—but the birds were nearly surpassed in quality by the incedible mammals.  We watched as a black rhino took an evening drink and bath, and watched a pride of lions—with four small cubs—react to too-close-for-comfort jackal.  From Walvis Bay and its tens of thousands of waders, flamingos, and other waterbirds to Etosha’s massive ungulate herds—this was a fantastic trip for all.

Daily log

13 January: We met at the airport in the early afternoon, and, one bag too few, began our drive to the coast.  The drive passes through some beautiful mountain scenery before dropping into the coastal plain and across stark rocky desert.  We stopped many times for birds along the way.  One of our first stops was because there was a whole family group of the scarce Orange River Francolin right at the roadside.  Another stop was at a mostly dry rivercourse, where the last puddle of water attracted a variety of finches, including the stunning Violet-eared Waxbill, Black-eared Waxbill, and Green-winged Pytilia, all came to drink.  Even better, however, was the group of Rockrunners we noticed just as we were getting ready to leave.  This beautiful endemic showed extremely well hopping about on some rocks, completely unconcerned by our presence.  Upon dropping into the coastal plains’ grassland we came across a couple more endemics: Ruppell’s Korhaan and Stark’s Lark.  We also found an adult Lappet-faced Vulture sitting atop the only tree for kilometers around.  As we reached the coast, we found a beachfront bar that also happened to have an excellent deck for seawatching, so with beers in hand we saw several cormorant species, Cape Gannet, and Parasitic Jaeger.  Now dark, we reached our hotel in Walvis Bay, where we could see several Greater Flamingos close to shore.


In good light, we could see the green sheen on the upperparts of male Dusky Sunbirds.

14 January: We spent the first part of the morning checking out the massive numbers of waterbirds around Walvis Bay.  This is a spectacle that should not be missed: ten thousand Greater Flamingoes feeding in the shallow bay, thousands of Common Terns patrolling the air, and tens of thousands of waders crowding the shallow water and mudflats.  Among the waders we managed to find two rarities for Namibia: Greater Sandplover and several Red-necked Phalaropes, including a breeding plumaged female.  We also saw many Chestnut-banded Plovers among the hundreds of White-fronteds and had smashing looks at a feeding Damara Tern.  All told we saw 22 species of waders today!  A midday trip to Dune Lark habitat was very productive for this species, the only true Namibian endemic.  We were incredibly lucky to watch a male in display flight right in the heat of the midday sun!   After lunch we headed further inland, finding a small party of the localized Gray’s Lark fairly quickly, as well as very white forms of Tractrac and Karoo chats.  We finished the day at our favorite bar, where with more time we were able to see both Parasitic and Pomarine Jaegers (the latter an adult with a full spatulate tail), four species of cormorants including the uncommon Bank, and Sooty Shearwater.


Rosy-faced Lovebirds. Right: lovebirds in love.

15 January: We departed the cool coastal climes of Walvis Bay for the scorching interior this morning, arriving at the beautiful granite inselbergs of Spitzkoppe when it was already getting hot.  Herero Chats wouldn’t come out for us this morning, but we saw our first White-tailed Shrike, a striking, enigmatic endemic, Rosy-faced Lovebirds, a stunning little parrot, added the endemic Monteiro’s Hornbill and Karoo Long-billed Lark, and saw more Ruppell’s Korhaans.  The surrounding area was excellent for raptors, and we saw both the rock loving Verreaux’s Eagle and Augur Buzzard and the plains dwelling Black-breasted Snake Eagle and Martial Eagle.  We stopped for lunch at the always productive (and bone dry) ana tree forest along the Khan River.  Birds were active despite the heat, and in just a short period we had some great finds, including two key endemics: Ruppell’s Parrot and Violet Wood-Hoopoe.  Other birds at along the river included Burnt-necked Eremomela, Red-billed Francolin, Bearded and Golden-tailed Woodpeckers, and African Gray and Southern Yellow-billed Hornbills.  We then made our way to the stunning Erongo Wilderness Lodge.  With its well-placed pools of water, we were able to pass the entire afternoon sitting on the deck watching and photographing the various birds and mammals that came in to drink and bathe.  Among the more than twenty species that came in to take advantage of the water was the normally very shy and difficult Hartlaub’s Francolin (thus saving much early morning rambling among the boulders!), the endemic Carp’s Tit, many Rosy-faced Lovebirds, a variety of buntings, seedeaters, finches, and starlings, a warthog, and the endemic antelope Damara dik-dik.  As evening set in the Freckled Nightjars became active, swooping around the restaurant in search of bugs.

16 January: We got up early for a short walk on some of Erongo’s excellent footpaths.  Not much was being vocal, but we managed to find lots of birds anyway.  Among the highlights were great looks at many of the endemics we had previously seen, like Carp’s Tit, Hartlaub’s Francolin, White-tailed Shrike, Rockrunner, Monteiro’s Hornbill, Rosy-faced Lovebird, plus new birds like an electric Violet-backed Starling, Pririt Batis, and Golden-breasted Bunting.  After a lovely breakfast at the bird pools we started north to the famed Etosha National Park.  With brief stops for provisions, to talk our way out of a ticket, and large group of White-backed and Lappet-faced Vultures, Tawny Eagles, and Yellow Billed Kites, we entered the park in the early afternoon.   It was hot and the birds were quiet, but we soon saw our first of the mammals that make Etosha famous: zebra, giraffe, gemsbok, wildebeest.  Upon reaching the first waterhole we were accosted by Sociable Weavers and South African ground squirrels wanting bites of our sandwiches.  We rested, watching the various birds and animals around the waterhole, then drove around the open, stony plains of that part of Etosha.  There we found birds typical of this habitat, including the tough Burchell’s Courser, Double-banded Courser, and a group of Spotted Thick-Knee sharing the shade of a small acacia with a Greater Kestrel.    Arriving to our beautiful lodge and chasing a bat out of the bathroom, we were greeted with a game barbeque and cold beer under an incredibly starry sky.


All are species we saw on our first afternoon in Etosha: giraffe, Double-banded Courser, Lilac-breasted Roller.

17 January: We began the day around our lodge, where several species of hornbills including Damara Red-billed were flying around feeding on fruits, and I got a quick look at a Common Whitethroat, unusual for this part of Namibia.  We then made our way to the park.  After passing through the first camp, we visited an area where Caspian Plover had been reported the day before, but instead of any plovers we found a recent kill!  A spotted hyena was feasting on a dead wildebeest, possibly a lion kill from the previous night, with vultures and black-backed jackals hovering around.  Eventually the hyena had eaten its fill, and wandered off to lie down under a nearby bush, and the jackals moved in, eating and trying to keep the numerous White-backed Vultures away at the same time.  Finally the jackals were full, and the vulture mob rushed in, with over 60 White-backeds, several Lappet-faced, and a Tawny Eagle all trying to get some breakfast.  We spent the middle of the day at Halali Camp, where we quickly added several new birds, including roosting Southern White-faced and African Scops-Owl, White Helmetshrike, and White-crowned Shrike, and watched as a Marabou Stork at the watering hole tried to figure out how to eat a turtle.  Stopping at a watering hole full of birds and mammals, yielded our first lion, a beautiful female coming to drink.  Along the roadside we found a variety of big birds, including Kori Bustard, Northern Black Korhaan, Secretarybird, and, of course, Ostriches.  Before sunset we stopped one last time at Okaukuejo Camp’s watering hole, where we watched a massive black rhino saunter in for a drink of water and a quick bath before returning to the bush for the night.  Then on our way out of the park, trying to beat the sunset closing time, we were blocked by a group of female and young elephants crossing the road—at Etosha there is always something look at—then Malcolm spent the drive home carefully avoiding hitting the numerous Rufous-cheeked Nightjars sitting on the road.

18 January: Today we had another full day in Etosha, entering through the south gate and leaving the east gate.  Not long after passing through the first camp we came across our first maned lion, with two females. We soon had found a whole pride coming from all directions to meet at a waterhole and watched as they ceremoniously greeted each other.  The numerous lions made the other animals leery, so the zebra, red hartebeest, gemsbok, and others stayed well away from the hole, keeping their eyes on their predators.  Driving through the park yielded many other birds an mammals, including Montague’s Harrier, African Harrier-Hawk, Caspian Plover, and Kalahari Scrub-Robin.  Driving around Fischer’s Pan in the evening, Malcolm spotted a Red-necked Falcon in a palm—this uncommon species’ favorite habitat, along with impressive numbers of ungulates.  Driving outside of the park on the way to our lodge we came across two female lions lying in the scrub.  Then another female came out, quickly followed by four adorable, curious cubs, who approached the vehicle and just sat, staring at us.  Then the groups adult male, a huge, healthy individual sauntered out of the bush and laid down.  All of the sudden, every lions’ head turned in unison—a jackal had come to close.  One of the mothers immediately stood, staring at the jackal.  When it didn’t move, she let out a deafening roar then charged, taking several sprinting strides towards the jackal.  That was enough the keep the jackal at bay, and the lions all crossed the road mere meters behind our car.  The adults laid down on the other side of the road, while the cubs sat on the road, staring at us once again.  It was an incredible lion encounter, surely one of the highlights of the trip, and a great way to end the day.


Two mammals that symbolize Africa: lion and zebra.

19 January: We awoke this morning to find a Barn Owl being chased by a Gabar Goshawk and several Fork-tailed Drongos on the lodge grounds.  Returning to the park, we drove the Dik-dik Loop, finding several very confiding Damara dik-diks.  A couple more lions were at the great waterhole at the end of the loop, bringing to over thirty the number of lions seen on the tour.  Driving to other waterholes yielded nice looks at Red-breasted Swallow, Southern Pied Babbler, and Icterine Warbler, as well as more elephant and lion.  We left the park mid-morning to be sure to arrive at Waterberg Plateau Park in the early afternoon.  Upon arrival, Berend immediately found a Pearl-spotted Owlet being mobbed by a family of Gray-backed Cameropteras.  After watching and photographing the owl, we returned to our room settle in.  After a few minutes I noticed a bit of commotion in the area, and a quick check revealed that the owlet had caught a cameroptera!  During an afternoon swim we were serenaded by the song of a Rockrunner, and returning to our room in the evening revealed a large flock of Bradfield’s Swifts overhead, numerous confiding Red-billed Francolins on the lawn, and a Little Sparrowhawk.    

This Gray-backed Cameroptera's sibling got eaten by this Pearl-spotted Owlet. Right: Red-billed Francolin from our patio at Waterburg.

20 January: We only had time for a quick look around breakfast before our return to Windhoek.  This short time proved worthwhile, as Malcolm quickly located a male Chestnut Weaver with a group of Southern Masked Weavers, and we found African Paradise-Flycatcher and Black-backed Puffback, both new for the trip.  A stop by some sewage ponds north of Windhoek produced a cooperative Black Crake.  After some nice souvenir shopping in Windhoek, we were off to the airport for the departure after an outstanding and memorable trip.
