One of the top birding destinations in South Africa, Wakkerstroom lies in the grasslands region of South Africa and boasts a high species diversity. This is a bird photography paradise.
Wetlands scattered through the area attract large numbers of aquatic birds including the Grey Crowned Crane, while the grasslands provide habitat for several species of larks, pipits, Bald Ibis and Blue Korhaan. Birding can be carried out throughout the area along the network of farm roads.
