Crowned hornbills are found in Kruger but only occassionally in Skukuza camp and only recently on Skukuza Golf Course as well. Its stronghold however is Punda Maria camp and Mahonie Loop where this pic was taken last month on a drive on Mahonie loop (Click). Easily distinguised from the not found in Kruger Bradfields Hornbill as the Crowned has a narrow /Yellow/orange band at the base of the bill
