Birding Safaris

Royal Malewane records more than 300 bird species, a list that runs from the grey penduline tit to the lappet-faced vulture. The birding safari is built around the individual guest rather than a fixed route, so a keen lister and a casual enthusiast are each served differently. A nationally recognised birding guide is matched to each guest, and a target sightings list is agreed in advance. The pace follows the guest's interest: long stops for a difficult warbler, or a slower drive if the day is about the larger birds. The activity is included in the accommodation arrangement, which is useful to know when a client asks about extras.
