Extra Ordinary Bird Life For Bird Watchers:

  • A remarkable 418 bird species are found at Uitvlugt Resort which forms part of the popular Rust de Winter Dam and Nature Reserve and the bigger Dinokeng Area, which is a veritable birder’s paradise.

  • The region’s prolific birdlife is explained by its incredible array of unique habitats, ranging from acacia savanna, dry woodland to the lush riverine forests along the Elands river and Rust de Winter dam. Although the area is one of the best year-round birding sites in South Africa, visiting migrants increases the resident bird population by up to 20%. Diversity is key here, with sightings ranging from kingfishers to waders to raptors.

  • Large storks are frequently seen, including the Marabou, the Saddle-Billed Stork and the Abdim’s Stork, while the riverbanks provide nesting space for colonies of iridescent Bee-Eaters and Kingfishers. Rarities include the African Finfoot, Red-Chested Fluff tail and the African Crake.
