The Bare-cheeked Babblers were one of our main target species in the Etosha National Park on our recent Namibia, Botswana and Zambia tour. After missing these birds in other well-known locations just outside the national park, we finally managed to track down a noisy group of these gregarious birds in Halali Rest Camp. These babblers prefer dry watercourses, sparse woodlands and rocky hillsides and are endemic to Namibia and south-west Angola.
