World of birds is the largest bird park in Africa
and one of the few large bird parks in the World.
Over 3 000 birds (and small animals) of 400 different species are uniquely
presented in more than 100 spacious landscaped walk through aviaries, allowing
you the most intimate closeness with nature. A tropical garden
setting in the HoutBayValley
is the environment in which the aviaries are spaced over 4 ha of land, framed
by the back of TableMountain, the Twelve
Apostles, Constantiaberg, Chapman’s Peak and Little Lion’s Head. A paradise for
nature lovers and photographers, the World of Birds is one of Cape Town’s premier tourist attractions which
no visitor should miss.
100 000 visitors
annually enjoy the outing to the World of Birds. The HoutBayFishingVillage and FishingHarbour just 10 km outside Cape Town ca be reached either along the scenic routes of
the Coastal Drive
via CampsBay and Llandudno or via Kirstenbosch
and Constantia, or on the way to and from Cape Point Nature Reserve via the
spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive.

Here is a day we spent exploring this wonderful bird park where we got a close glimpse of many African species we normally wouldn't get to see up close. For more details, please see their species list.
