To aid our guests in identifying as many species as possible we provide checklists and reference books, including the computerised Roberts Guide to assist in identifying calls. Our gardens have feeders to ensure that birding can be combined with breakfast or sundowner drinks on the terrace.

We can give advice on day tours encompassing montane grasslands, rocky cliffs, riverside meadows and forest to provide maximum sighting opportunities. To complement your birding holiday we offer a wide range of optional activities including fly-fishing, hiking, horse riding, river rafting, overnight camping trips and 4x4 trails.
