Cape Town might be one of the most interesting urban birdwatching I have ever visited. Within few kms, the city area harbors pelicans, penguins, albatrosses and a set of smart endemics.

Arabuko Sokoke is the largest remnant of East African coastal forest. Walking its trails produced endemic Sokoke scops-owl, Amani sunbird and golden-rumped sengi and a close encounter with an elephant!
