Birds of Eden

• Plettenberg Bay

Birds of Eden, is the Garden Route's very own world class free flight bird sanctuary.

The unique two hectare dome (the World’s largest) spans a gorge of indigenous forest. The sanctuary has its own mysterious ruin, which incorporates a walk-behind waterfall. Another feature is its amphitheatre which has the ability to seat over 200 visitors.

Birds of Eden boasts its own canopy walk which hangs above the clouds. The decision to develop Birds of Eden stems from the need to create a safe environment in which to release a large collection of free-flight birds. There are well over 200 different species and over 3000 birds, about half being African and the rest exotic.

The best aspect of the aviary is that its size allows the creation of various habitats for all the different species that find sanctuary here. On entering the aviary one walks into an indigenous forest which comprises 70% of the aviary.
