ANIMALS

Tortoises, donkeys, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese and squirrels roam the farm, and an occasional wild steenbok appears at the edges. A fish eagle may be seen or heard overhead. Fifty-eight bird species have been recorded on the estate. For guests who want to put names to what they see, a bird book is kept in the Butterfly Room and binoculars can be borrowed from Reception. Nothing here is a scheduled event; sightings come with walking or cycling the farm at an unhurried pace, which suits clients with an interest in birding.
