A large variety of birds, including Knysna Loerie’s, can be observed on the farm and walking trails.
The picture below on the top right is a rare sighting of the Narina Trogon. It was spotted in December 2011 at campsite 9.
A short description of the Narina Trogon:
Narina Trogons are essentially large forest leaf-gleaners that feed mainly on invertebrates and to a lesser extent on small vertebrates. A high percentage of prey brought to nests are smooth-skinned caterpillars from the moth, and not from the butterfly family.
In southern African forests, it seems therefore that they are most dependent on moth fauna for prey.
A well-marked, scenic trail winds gently through the forest, connecting the campsites to the nearby waterfall. The short hike takes visitors past moss-covered trees and bubbling brooks, creating a peaceful transition from the quiet of the campground to the rushing sound of falling water. Along the way, hikers may spot wildlife or pause at small clearings to take in the natural beauty before arriving at the breathtaking cascade. Note, after good rain.
