Birding Safaris

Royal Malewane

Birds may not announce themselves in the same way larger species do, yet they form an integral part of the bush experience – their different melodies scoring every encounter, bringing intricate detail to the wilderness experience.

Experiences

Immerse yourself in this fascinating world

These extraordinary creatures display an astonishing range of traits. Some migrate thousands of miles, others live as long as we do, and almost all put on spectacular performances to attract a mate, making birdlife one of the most rewarding dimensions of any safari.

Royal Malewane is home to over 300 species, from the petite collared sunbird to the immense lappet-faced vulture. Whether an experienced twitcher or a first timer, our expert Guides, holding the country’s top birding qualifications, will make this the perfect place to tick off even the most elusive sightings.

Tailor your birding experience

Guests with a birding wish list are welcome to let us know ahead of arrival – we will match them with a birding expert from our Guiding team, allowing the greatest opportunity to tick off their species.

We put together experiences for both amateur and professional birders, crafting each outing around individual interests and moving at a pace that allows the time and opportunity to sight the special species of the Greater Kruger National Park, especially if a private vehicle is booked (additional cost).
