The Helmeted Guineafowl in Kruger National Park

How to identify the Helmeted Guineafowl, its calls, behaviour, and where to see it in the Greater Kruger and around Hoedspruit.

The Helmeted Guineafowl is the noisy, blue-headed, white-spotted ground bird seen everywhere in the Lowveld. It travels in family flocks, roosts in trees and roots out seeds and insects. Common across the Greater Kruger and right into Hoedspruit gardens - a local indicator of a healthy bushveld day.
