G’day Sonja
The "Birds of East Africa" by Stevenson and Fanshawe is the standard guide I
believe. It is not perfect but mostly fine. It is also available as an
iPhone/iPad app. There is another book that covers Kenya and northern Tanzania
but I haven’t seen it. My favourite however is "Birds of Africa South of the
Sahara" by Sinclair and Ryan. It is more up to date than S&F.
I would take S&F on your iphone/ipada and the S&R book.
For Madagascar I’m only aware of “Birds of the Indian Ocean Islands” by
Sinclair and Langrand. I think there was recently a new edition. Mine was
published in 2003. It is a nice small field guide.
