Awesome - This was beyond expectations. So close to the birds and yet they are still wild . There’s nothing worse than seeing birds in cages but the huge netted area gives them freedom and helps educate us .

Exceeded all expectations! - What a wonderful place, which totally exceeded our expectations. Booked this to kill some time on a quiet day but as soon as we walked through the door from the entrance to the sanctuary we were mesmerized. Amazing birds that are in touching distance, the sound is amazing and what I thought was a quick walk round turned in to about 2hrs of wandering, searching, staring in amazement. We took binoculars which was a bonus so if you have some, take them. A really lovely couple of hours that was more than we anticipated.

A highly recommended excursion - This is a great place to visit if you have two or three hours to spare, although you could go through in a short period of time. There are some amazing birds which are all easily visible and an incredible variety with some of the most beautiful colours imaginable. The environment is extremely natural, and although it is a very, very large enclosure – there is no sense that it is artificial or contrived. All birds have been rescued and the ethos has to be commended. A very well worthwhile excursion.

Beautiful and peaceful - The forest is absolutely beautiful and so are the birds. You need to walk slowly and take your time look everywhere because some birds hide. There are birds that come right up to you and sing and make noises.

Bountiful birds - Very interesting to see an enclosed forest with beautiful birds freely moving about. Many are non-African birds however so would like to have seen just native birds.

Lovely stuff... - Visited here with the Mrs’ and was pleasantly surprised as I wasn’t a fan of Monkeyland next door. Saw some really interesting birds and managed a few decent photos. Highlight was right up the top seeing the flamingos being fed, lowlight was having some kind of duck peck at my feet and undo my shoelaces. All in all, 8 on 10 👍🏻

The large variety of birds. - We really enjoyed the sanctuary. We wandered through at our leisure and had many pleasant viewings of birds. The one bird we did not expect to see and which we see too many of at home was a small flock of Canad Geese. I did a double take on that one. There were no guides, but then I generally find them uninformative unless they are specialists in their area. We did just fine with our guide book and had fun working through it.
