In May this year we did some great guide training in the Northern Serengeti at Sayari Camp with 29 Asilia Guides. Four topics were covered, namely Geology with Dr Abigail Church, Botany and Id of plants with Annie Powys, insects with Dino Martins and finally birding with Clint Shipper. These were the trainers for the 2 weeks of training and the guides divided into four groups and had three days with each trainer.
I wanted to share the amazing bird list that we got in the two weeks at Sayari Camp a whopping 215 species. See below for the finished and completed list.
