Bird watching
While most of the Estate is classified as Coastal Indigenous Forest, the close
proximity of Grassland, Acacia thicket and the De Stades River Wetland, creates
an ideal eco-diversity for bird watching. Three hundred and fifty-two species
have been listed in the area, including many elusive species such as the Narina
Trogon, African Rail, Grey Sunbird and the often heard Buff-Spotted, Red-Chested
and Striped Flufftails. You are always assured of seeing the Knysna Loerie (Turaco)
our signature bird, with its magnificent crimson and green plumage. On a good
morning guests have seen all 5 of our listed kingfishers within the estate,
which in its own has been a highlight for some.
Thunzi Bush Lodge offers customised birding tours with a qualified bird guide,
enabling you to fully experience the rich abundance of birdlife in the region.
More information on birding on the estate or in the surrounding area can be
obtained from the highly recommended
Turaco Tours. |
