Hi Dick,
I'd like to second what Fiona has just said. I used the first edition back
in 1997 and it was a "must have" then. Included in its area of coverage are:
South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and the
southern part of Mozambique below the Zambezi. What is great about this book
is that the publishers took on board many recommendations by birders
themselves as to the layout of the book, which later editions incorporated.
Cheers,
Jono

Hi Dick,
I think you will find that the best one is SASOL Birds of Southern Africa by
Ian Sinclair, Phil Hockey and Warwick Tarboton published by Struik. It was
the one recommended to us by Rockjumper Birding Tours - a very well known
and competent company. We have used it twice and found it to be excellent.
Enjoy birding in Africa - it is great and so good that in May we intend to
return to "do" Tanzania and Kenya.
Cheers,
Fiona
