    1. Yes, I did and afterwards I was really pleased with this visit.
      I was for me the most beautiful place during my trip through Kenia en Tanzania.
      I did not expect it but I guess that due of the rain in Seregeti.
      We had not so good time there unfortable :(

The kori bustard is the largest flying bird native to Africa. It is one of the four species in the large-bodied "Ardeotis" genus. In fact, the male kori bustard may be the heaviest living animal capable of flight. This species, like most bustards, is a ground-dwelling bird and an opportunistic omnivore.
