Baviaanskloof Bird Watching

Birdwatching

A large variety of birds, including Knysna Loerie and Narina Trogon, can be observed on the farm and walking trails.

The Knysna Loerie is a striking green forest bird native to South Africa’s coastal forests, especially around Knysna.

Known for its bright green feathers, red wing flashes, and distinctive call, it is one of the most iconic birds of the Garden Route.

They live in dense indigenous forests and wooded areas, where they move through the treetops rather than spending time on the ground. Their diet mainly consists of fruit, berries, flowers, and leaves, making them important seed spreaders in forest ecosystems.

Waterfall Trail

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.
