Bird of Prey Centre

A must see when visiting Dullstroom. Children love the wild bird shows and happily spend hours there with the shows.

There is also a childrens fishing pond, small “zoo” of rescued and rehabilitated small wildlife, and then of course, all the birds.

They believe that the wellbeing of our animals is always our number one priority, not the fiscal aspect of the activities on offer for public entertainment.

Be sure to pack extra water and cold-drinks, and sunscreen and wear a hat! For more information and to contact the centre, you can visit our page here: Bird of Prey Centre

Trout Hatchery Tours

Also at Dunkeld Estate. An exciting new development: a world-class, state-of-the-art trout breeding facility. It’s an environmentally friendly and sustainable operation that, through the recirculation of water, provides trout with an optimal habitat – without any detrimental effects to the ecosystem and environment. Due to strict health controls, only guided tours that have been made by prior arrangement will be allowed (R50 per person). It’s a fascinating facility – so book in advance!

Verloren Valei Nature Reserve

Verloren Valei Nature Reserve (Lost Valley in English)is a protected nature reserve roughly 13km outside Dullstroom. It is one of few places in the country to breed all three of the world’s endangered cranes. Guided tours around the reserve to sight the blue crane, the wattled crane and the crowned crane are by appointment only – the reserve is an international Ramsar wetlands site and enjoys international importance. An interlinked series of over 30 wetlands are home to significant birds, including red data species, so it is understandable that Verloren Vallei Nature Reserve is serious about providing safe refuge to its countless birds.
