Birding is fantastic in Africa. I did one trip in Kenya/Tanzania which was just looking at wildlife. I think we identified about 300 bird species over 2 weeks. But, as Mule Deer said, everything costs more in Africa, so you're not going to get the bargain rates you might get in Latin America.

But I think it's worth it. There is no other place like Africa!

That's why I'm planning to hunt in Mozambique next year.
