Wildlife and Bird Guide for South Africa

Atergatis · 2016-11-29

Hi, I'm looking for a good (digital) wildlife and bird guide for South Africa. I'm planning a 2-month road trip through the parks and tourist spots.

I'm torn between *Duncan Butcher’s Wildlife of South Africa*, *Wildlife of Southern Africa Collins Traveller Guide*, and *Newman’s Birds Guide* for birds. Any other suggestions?! It can be in English, French, or Spanish! Thanks

For birds, I use Sassol eBirds of Southern Africa on my tablet or smartphone ;)

Have a great trip!

Hi there,

One last little post in French—this time a guide to the mammals of Southern Africa. It’s the 2nd edition:
