Savannas in Southern Africa are some of the most lush and beautiful sounding environments I've ever recorded. The variety of species is just staggering. What's more important, the open landscape allows the calls to travel much further than in rainforests or jungles so the soundscape has depth, is beautifully layered and incredibly lush.
You can hear a variety of birds calling, from geese, ibises and other waterfowl to barbets, doves, coucals, cuckoos, bushshrikes and a myriad others. You can also hear occasional screechy and alien-like calls from a White-backed vulture. The best part is all of these calls can easily be placed in the acoustic environment with the help of reflections from nearby trees and rocky outcrops.
Recorded on the border between South Africa and Botswana in 2016 with Sound Devices 633 and a Sennheiser DMS rig. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:
