Join our local
Birding Guide Pam
Kleiman on a
fantastic tour of
the birdlife in the
Steytlerville
region. Over 230
species have been
reorded in our area!
Choose between a
walk along the Groot
Gamtoos rivier to
end at Noorspoort
for tea or coffee
and yummy eats, or
do a easier
drive-by-vehicle
tour to certain
hotspots, also to
end at Noorspoort
for tea. The
abundance of birds
are due to three
different
plant-biomes
converging on
Noorspoort as well
as the river running
through it. Do not
miss this
educational
experience! |
