Interested in birding South Africa with Rick Wright and VENT?
In September 2028, our very own Rick Wright is offering MBC members a chance to travel to South Africa with Victor Emanuel Nature Tours (VENT). The preliminary plan for this trip is as follows:
2 weeks of travel (exclusive of international travel time).
Starting in Cape Town with visits to West Cape National Park (NP), Kirstenbosch, False Bay, Stellenbosch, and the Bot Valley, among other local sites, topped off with a whale watch and pelagic trip.
Internal flight to Skukuza and then on to Sabi Sands for several days at Kruger NP.
Ending with visits to Soweto and the Johannesburg Apartheid Museum.
Details:
Estimated cost around $15,000, which would include the internal (but not international) flight, all meals, ground transportation, accommodations, and the usual high-quality VENT services.
Arrival location: Cape Town. Departure location: Johannesburg.
Two leaders: Rick Wright and Geoff Lockwood.
To express interest, please email mbcoutings@gmail.com An expression of interest is just that, an expression of interest, not a firm commitment. VENT is assessing whether enough MBC members would be interested or if this opportunity should be offered to another club.
