Ziwa birding tours: A brown headed parrot sitting in a tree.

Over 300 Species of Bird

Thanks to our birding tours, Ziwa has become a popular destination for bird enthusiasts around the world. Which is no surprise as there are over 300 bird species to be spotted here. Within the wildlife ranch, we have woodlands, swamps and savannah so we attract a wide variety of bird species.

Our rangers are very well trained and know exactly where to look to find the most interesting species. The tours, themselves are at a relaxed pace to allow you time to take as many photographs as you desire.

We offer 4 different bird trails in the ranch, so why not stay for a couple of days to make the most of your visit? Our birding tours are a must for birders, budding ornithologists and photographers alike.

Other Wildlife

Our wildlife ranch isn’t just home to birds and rhinos. You will likely see a whole host of other wildlife during your visit. You may well encounter warthogs, kobs, monkeys and many other species of wildlife that thrive here. So be sure to keep your cameras at the ready.

Golden Crested Crane

The golden crested crane is a frequent visitor to the ranch. With its crown of golden feathers, this stunning looking bird can have a wingspan of up to 6.5 feet. It has long black legs for wading through long grass. However, its large feet are designed for balance. And thanks to its long hind toe, it is one of the few species of crane that can roost in trees.
