This second day is one to remember, with activities commencing as soon as breakfast is done early morning. You will have a briefing by the guide, who will explain everything you need to know about birds. Then, we'll take you to the wilderness for a 3-4 hour search, where you will identify the sounds and sights of several bird species in the wild, notably the crested cranes, Egyptian geese, and the sought-after stork among others.

You'll have a lunch break sometime after the first hours of the day, and then an afternoon boat cruise that will not only expose you to magnificent waterfalls, and several aquatic birds such as the kingfisher. Dinner and a nap are the last things on this day.
