The Kruger National Park has a bird list of over 517 species and generally all areas of the park are good for bird watching but one area in particular stands out and that's the very Northern region of the park.

This region is home to some of Southern Africa’s rarer species and also forms the Southern limit of some of Central Africa's bird ranges.

The below table will give you an idea of the status of the more sought after species.

 C – Common  U – Uncommon  L – Localised Resident  M – Migrant  R – Rare Vagrant
