NB CHANGE OF VENUE!! Evening Meeting: Magical Makuleke. Speaker: Jonathan Hemp.

Marje and Jonathan Hemp first visited northern Kruger in 1991, and have returned fairly regularly
since. In both 2020 and 2021 they tackled BirdLife SA’s Birding Big Day from the EcoTraining camp in
Makuleke, the Conservancy bounded by the Luvuvhu River in the south and the Limpopo River in the
north, also known as the Pafuri Triangle. It is arguably the best birding area in Kruger, with remarkably
diverse habitats and specials such as Pel’s Fishing Owl, Arnot’s Chat, Racket-tailed Roller, Black-
throated Wattle-eye, Böhm’s Spinetail, Tropical Boubou, and Crested Guineafowl.
The talk will cover some of the fascinating history, the spectacular geography, and above all the rich
avifauna of the region.

Due to loadshedding in the Claremont area, the meeting place has been moved to Novalis Ubuntu Institute, 39 Rosmead Avenue, Wynvberg. The meeting will start at 19h30.
