Our main drive is to educate the public about raptors through flight demonstrations, handling days, photographic days, and educational displays at schools and other venues.
However, we also like to have fun. Our twice-daily flight displays, during which visitors receive dazzling, up-close encounters with South Africa’s most magnificent birds, will bring a smile to the lips of even the most serious animal enthusiast. A stroll through our enclosures, marked with lovely stories about the history of each animal, well-manicured gardens, kiddies playground, farmyard and is a perfect way to spend a sunny morning or afternoon in Dullstroom. Fishing is also offered on our two dams, run and managed in partnership with Mavungana Flyfishing Centre.
