This is a Friday-Sunday workshop in the Sani Pass area, including birding trips up Sani Pass and to local grasslands and wetlands, and a vulture hide. The weekend is preceded by a preparatory 2-session online course.

 

Develop your birding skills as a beginner or expand your existing skills in wonderful surroundings with Aldo, whilst experiencing Sani Pass, an iconic bucket-list destination and one of South Africa's top ten birding destinations.

 

We aim to find the local Big Five: Orange-breasted Rockjumper, Drakensberg Siskin, Mountain Pipit, Bearded Vulture and Gurney's Sugarbird. And many more, including three cranes, Bush Blackcap, Barratt's Warbler and Buff-streaked Chat.
