Location
Ocean Grove is perfectly situated on the South Coast component of the Southern Kwa-Zulu Natal Birding Route. The route has a bird list of over 500 species, including 64 endemic, or near endemic species, and 67 red data species. The South Coast is unique, with its variety of habitats from coastal and wetland to forest, woodland and grassland environments.
Unique Area
Only in the region of the South Coast Birding Route do South Africa’s two distinct avifaunae (Afromontane and tropical forest) overlap. This makes birding in this area extremely rewarding. Specials include the northernmost population of Knysna Woodpecker and other highly sought-after species including Magpie Manikin and African Broadbill.
Birder Friendly
At Ocean Grove, guests can stroll through the gardens, under the huge, shady, indigenous trees and enjoy an abundance of bird life without having to leave the property. The avid birder can continue this experience by visiting the nearby Mpenjati, Umtamvuna and Oribi Gorge nature reserves.
