Need Help for Study Abroad Trip to South Africa!

I am a senior wildlife management manager at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. I have the opportunity to travel to South Africa and backpack through 5 countries and study over 40 species of common birds. This is a once in a life time opportunity and any help would be appreciated! It has always been a dream of mine to interact with these amazing animals, please help make that dream come true!
