Update: 2024-06-04
Description
In episode 9, join me - Charlotte Beauvoisin, author of Diary of a Muzungu - as I introduce you to my first South African guest, the acclaimed travel and guidebook writer Philip Briggs. Join us in the bird hide to hear:
- Mountain gorillas vs. chimpanzees - how does he compare the two tracking experiences?
- Where is the best place to track chimps in East Africa?
- Why does Philip Briggs say Uganda is Africa’s best birding destination?
- Where can you see the Shoebill?
- Where does he predict will become Uganda's top exclusive safari destination?
- Which bird did Briggs add to his ‘life list’ while birdwatching at Sunbird Hill, Nature Monitoring and Rewilding Site, Kibale Forest, Uganda?
- What's the future for guidebooks?
- And one last geeky question: is it acceptable to add a bird to your life list if you have heard (but not seen) it?
