Wakkerstrom is a key area on any birding trip that covers the eastern side of South Africa. In just a day and a half here we ran into several Yellow-breasted Pipits, Eastern Clapper Larks, a pair of Pink-billed Larks, the rare Rudd's Lark, Eastern Long-billed Larks, multiple Buff-streaked Chats, Barrow's and Blue Korhaans, a large group of Southern Bald Ibis, many Grey-crowned Cranes, and an African Rail. On top of all of that this quaint town with the English country feel about it has some superb restaurants one of which was decked out with fantastic artwork from a number of local artists.
