*Nomenclature and taxonomic affinities are based on Clements 6th Edition published 2007 with updates through 2021 maintained by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, which relies largely on the AOU and SACC nomenclature committees. IUCN status may reflect splits not currently recognized by Clements.
**Species not accepted by Clements, AOU, or SACC that we recognize based on the IOC, field observations along with geographical separation, consensus opinions of field guide authors, and other sources. These species are potential splits in future Clements updates.

TOUR NOTES

An overnight stay in Windhoek plus a morning birding next day can be added to the end of the tour depending on flight schedule at additional cost.

ACCOMMODATIONS

We'll be staying in comfortable, moderately priced hotels and very nice lodges wherever possible. The Kunene River Lodge is somewhat basic but quite comfortable. The Shamvura Camp is very rustic and basic. Accommodation at Rainbow Lodge, Drotsky's Cabins, and Roy's Rest Camp is in comfortable cabins.
