BIRDWATCHING - The Hessequa region - as the entrance to the Garden Route - is renowned for its natural features with diverse fauna, flora and marvellous landscapes.

Nature enthusiasts, including birding groups often visit Hessequa, due to the high yield of bird species within the respected biomes within and surrounding the region.

The Boosmansbos Wilderness Area and the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, located along the mountainous region of Heidelberg are regarded as birding hotspots with over 170 birding species spotted within this area!

The coastal gems of Gouritsmond, Stilbaai, Jongensfontein and Witsand offers excellent birdwatching opportunities with the sighting of the Black Oyster Catcher, Olive Woodpecker and the White-Chinned Petrels. The Roland Rudd bird hide is located at the oxidation ponds at Stilbaai Waste Water Treatment Works and the ideal location to photograph the Purple Heron, Water Thick-Knee and the African Darter.

Riversdale has developed a marvellous reputation as being the Floral Paradise of the Garden Route with birding areas including the Garcia's Moutain Pass, Novo and district roads leading towards Albertinia and Herbertsdale.

Hessequa Tourism invites nature lovers and the greater birding communities to stay within the marvellous Hessequa region and spot some of the rare birding species found in the area.
