South Africa - Cape Town

["Trevor Ford" <>]

John Leonard's request for info regarding African trips has inspired me to
post a little appreciation of the internet for arranging birding holidays.

Most birding-aussers will have visited Tom Tarrant's excellent web site at
some stage.  Well so did one Chris Spengler from Cape Town, leaving a note
that whenever in South Africa ... come and visit.  Tom put me in touch with
Chris, and my party of three spent a wonderful week in the Cape Town area,
mostly based at a guest house run by Chris (Afton Grove).  All local
specialities are 'staked out' as are many feeding and watering holes.
Wonderful birding and hospitality - highly recommended!  If you get that far
south John, don't miss it.

I'm copying Chris (Hi!!) in case anyone wants to see his email address.

Trevor.
