Birding

This is a slide show with a few of the pictures from our recent Birding Weekend at Pakamisa Private Game Reserve. We spotted more than 100 species of birds. Chamu, Pakamisa’s excellent birding guide, and myself enjoyed hosting the event.

Here are the dates for the next two three-nights-stay-birding-weekends at Pakamisa:

  • 13 to 16 February 2026
  • 27 to 30 November 2026

If you are interested you can contact Pakamisa directly at res@pakamisa.co.za / +27832291811.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at one of the next birding weekends 🐦
