Shashani Hills Birdlife
Matobo Bird Safaris
A birding safari is always a rewarding way to spend a morning and is best done on foot.
Set out in the early morning on a birding safari that coincides with the onset of the dawn chorus echoing through the Shashani Hills. A beautiful experience to witness and hear while walking through the bush. Experience a sense of spiritual stillness.
Enjoy a cuppa and get lost in this dance of nature and beauty. Relax at the dam and see what beauties come for a sip of water.
