BIRDS
OF EDEN, IS THE GARDEN ROUTE’S
VERY OWN WORLD CLASS FREE FLIGHT BIRD
SANCTUARY.
The
unique two hectare dome (the World’s
largest) spans over a gorge of indigenous
forest. The sanctuary has its own mysterious
ruin, which incorporates a walk-behind
waterfall. Another feature is its amphitheatre,
which has the ability to seat over 200
visitors.
Like Monkeyland,
the popular primate sanctuary next-door,
Birds of Eden boasts its own canopy
walk, while shorter than the 128m bridge
at Monkeyland,
it hangs above the clouds. The decision
to develop Birds of Eden stems from
the need to create a safe environment
in which to release a large collection
of free-flight African birds, miniature
monkeys and the sanctuary also enables
bird owners to apply to release their
pet birds into the sanctuary, after
undergoing rehabilitation.
