Birding

An array of bird life at Shamwari Private Game Reserve

Eastern Cape is home to a host of beautiful birds

Birding in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is a rewarding experience due to the province’s diverse habitats, ranging from coastal estuaries and wetlands to mountainous regions, forests, and grasslands. This variety supports a high diversity of bird species, including many endemics and specials found only in southern Africa.

Birds of The Region

There are an abundance of special birds that we are privileged to see at Shamwari. Specialist guides, who know the habits and habitats of these birds, will do their utmost to get you a sighting of these birds in their natural environment.

All of our safari vehicles offer Swarovski optic binoculars, one per couple, to make use of whilst on drive.
