This is a Thursday-Sunday weekend (21 - 24 Nov 2024) including a birding trip up Sani Pass and to grasslands, Mist-belt Forest and wetlands. The weekend is preceded by a 2-session online course.

 

Tick some really special birds with Aldo! Experience the iconic, bucket-list Sani Pass - one of South Africa's top ten birding destinations. 

 

We aim to find the local Big Five: Drakensberg 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.
