For more than 20 years the West Rand Region of the SANParks Honorary Rangers held these very
popular birding weekends at various camps throughout the Park. Birders have an ideal opportunity
to see some of the most sought-after birds in South Africa while mingling with like-minded fellow
birders.
The camps are hosted by SANParks Honorary Rangers and helpers, while knowledgeable birding
experts and guides entertain guests on their morning and evening drives. It is a wonderful
opportunity for people to boost their birding skills, but at the same time assist with vital conservation
work.
It isn’t all about bird spotting, however. In addition to the accompanied birding drives to some of the
remote parts of the park, guests may be entertained in other activities including expert-guided walks
around the camps, visits to historic community sites within the KNP, and talks on various interesting
wildlife topics. The days are usually concluded with sundowners in the bush, followed by a catered
dinner where guests could relax and share experiences of the day.
There is space available at the following camps and dates:
23.01.20 – 26.02.20 – Talamati;
