Bee-eaters

Excerpt(s) from the book Namibian Wildlife - an alternative guide for the traveller on safari.

If you travel up north then your choice of bee-eaters improves. In particular the north east Caprivi has colonies of carmine bee-eater. The brilliance of these birds can not be overstated."

"If you want to do this make sure you time your trip right because they all disappear in the winter (March to October) and you may be lucky to see even a single bird."
