This custom safari took Don & Maddy to some of the top birding destinations in Southern Africa in the company of one of the most fanatical and well-known specialist birding guides in the business, Martin Benadie.
The channel was clear amber in near-dusk.
I saw a kingfisher alight, black
and white, on a papyrus stalk.
And as the kingfisher darted, a soft spray
of pale pollen floated down. I was
hushed then. And heard
the bird chitter. As darkness came, rowing,
the channel was a blue-black
slash in autumn night.
