What are the aspects of being a bird guide that you like best? Which aspects do you dislike most?
Spotting the shoebills for my clients faster, in not less than 2 hrs / My clients failing to see the shoebills — it hurts me.
Can you outline at least one typical birdwatching trip in your area? Please briefly describe the locations, the key birds, and the approximate duration of such a trip
Shoebill watch tours last 3 hours.
What other suggestions can you give to birders interested in your area?
Those interested should come in the dry season — from June, July, August, September, and January, February. That’s the best time to spot the shoebills.
