This is the most amazing bird park you could ever visit! All the birds fly free in a huge atrium. I was more extremely impressed and had the most amazing experience. If you go to knysna, definitely worth a visit!!'

Enjoyed a lovely morning walking round this place and watching a whole series of displays from both South African and worldwide birds given a wonderful new home.

This was just a short trip on a rainy day but it was wonderful to leave the car, stroll a few meters and enter a quiet forest

More birds than you can count ! Nice walkboards. The birds really have a good life there. Buy a combi ticket for Garden of Eden and Monkey world.

This park is kept well but there is not so much to see. It is a short walk but it is wheelchairfriendly. This is next to the N2 so you can get out when you drive by. However you can hear the traffic at some points. We would not recommend this walk for young people
