Simply amazing!!! Spent several hours walking around and watching the demonstrations. Staff was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and shared a lot of interesting information. Make sure you see the 2pm/14:00 showing, the owl flies from guest to guest.
They have free interactions with foxes, a paid (very small fee) one with a beautiful eagle. Many of the birds you are allowed to pet. Literally one of the best days. Definitely support this non-profit rescue!

A fun experience though I wished there were bigger birds of prey on show. There's wide, open space for the kids to run around and admire the bird sanctuary, as well as a lovely petting area. Will definitely go again!

Best guide ever!! Told us everything we had to know and more. The feeding is really cool and interesting and the show is very fun. Beautiful birds and awesome place, really cheap as well. 80R per person and 45R more to hold the eagle.

This is a must see for anyone, it doesn't matter if you are a family or just someone who loves animals or birds.

The staff are great and were so informative, part of the entrance also includes a show which is fun and entertaining while educating us of the birds within the sanctuary.

Its nice to talk to the staff about the rehabilitation process and some of the stories about the birds and wildlife.

If you are daring enough you can also get into the cage with an eagle and its a once in a lifetime opportunity to be up close with the magnificent creatures

Best experience. I had a lot of fun. There are so many birds, owls and lots of other beautiful animals. I definitely recommend it. There are some guides that help you around and you can touch many of the animals.

Entry fee is very cheap. Wide range of birds, the bird shows are very informative and entertaining. The best is that you get to hold an owl which makes the whole trip worthwhile.

Simply phenomenal and worth a visit. What a well organised and transparent reserve. They do a fantastic job is taking in rescued birds of prey and where feasible rewilding them. Worthy of support. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
