Birds of Eden

I am actually not a big fan of birds, but this place is well done. Beautiful jungle landscape with rivers, waterfalls, lakes, flowers, bridges and walkways under an enormous tent. Pretty birds. Much more natural than just a few birds in a Zoo. Really well worth coming here.

What an incredible experience! The well constructed wooden walkway takes one down to almost root level of incredibly tall trees before going back up again to a plateau almost at the level of the tree tops and the ceiling of the dome. Simply amazing! Wheelchair friendly too! Well worth the visit.

Beautiful park with so much to see. These birds are very well kept. And it’s easy to get close to them, as most are quite curious. As a tourist, entry fee is perfectly fine. And I like the fact, that they also take care of elderly and abandoned birds.

I'm not really keen on keep wild birds, caged. Although is an aviary, it is still sad. It is however beautiful, and we had an amazing time there. We saw the most beautiful birds. Can recommend the place

The visit was an absolute joy with an astonishing range of exotic birds.No time pressure so you can get lost in the landscape and walking levels with a new sight at every turn.The free flight principle is fantastic both for the birds and visitors. Easily worth spending 2 hours absorbing the unique experience.

We took our family through on a rather wet and rainy day. The entrance fee is expensive and a walk through the sanctuary will last around 60 to 90mins. The walkways were great and the natural beauty was fantastic. We say a few species of bird but not as many as you'd expect. The facilities weren't great. The toilets were okay but the cafe was very poor. My daughter's really enjoyed being able to get close to the birds and the adventure of walking through tree tops. Overall very pretty and worth a visit.

This is a must do if you're on the garden route. Many different amazing birds. The best thing is that they stay freely inside the enclosure (It's basically massive massive bird cage) and are used to visitors so you can have close encounters. The circular walk is around 1.5 km and no exits in between. So you either complete it or return back. Best to do this along with Monkeyland. You also get a combo discount.

I’ve been to lots of bird parks, but this one may be my favorite ever! Instead of seeing birds in small, confined spaces, here we see them interact with a forest canopy covered with netting. So cool! I worried we would be too far away to see the birds well, but feeding stations right by the boardwalk bring them right up to us. I support this humane treatment of these beautiful creatures who are rescues and stay here if they can’t be returned to the wild.

My goodness! This aviary is amazing!We thoroughly enjoyed the time there.Make sure to buy the identification guide, worth it.The walk through the aviary was truly amazing.The sound of the different birds was like we were in the forest.The wooden boards really made it easier to take beautiful pictures of all the different species. We also enjoyed sitting down on the benches along the paths.Some of the birds are familiar to people and will come up close.The sanctuaries have combos you can purchase. We purchased a combo and it was definitely worth it.I will recommend this place to everyone I know.

A spectacular place to visit! One of the best sanctuaries in South Africa with around 200 bird species freely flying in a very spacious closed aviary about 3 hectares large and up to 60 m high. Though the feeling is that it is larger since the walkway zigzag across the park on different levels.It is very pleasant just to stroll along the walkways and watch for the birds, or to sit on one of tens of the benches standing here and there. The bird reference guide is available at the entrance for R20, thus it is possible to determine any bird species you encounter. Binocular could be helpful, since the aviary is huge.There is a nice small restaurant inside with a good choice of dishes with many vegetarian options and very competitive prices.
