Kruger National Park - Kingfishers?

[Linz]

Will be going to KNP for easter. I am looking for advice for the best spots to photograph, Pigmy, Woodland, Brown and Grey Headed Kingfishers?

Any info will be appreciated.

Other than the grey headed, which I'm still to see in the KNP, I've seen all the other around Berg-n-dal.

The Woodland and Brown headed are fairly common elsewhere. They are migratory and may well be getting ready to move so good luck.

I have seen the grey headed in the Sabi Sands reserve along the Sand River so there may be a chance of seeing this special bird near Skukusa.
