Birds Of Eden | Bird Sanctuary | Plettenberg Bay

A World Class Bird Sanctuary

Birds of Eden is the biggest free flight aviary in the world, and home to over three thousand exotic and indigenous birds.

Explore the beautiful indigenous forest that the sanctuary encompasses, taking in the incredible wildlife and enjoying close-up encounters with the birds. The mission of Birds of Eden is to educate the public about the birds and the dangers of keeping both indigenous and exotic birds as pets.

The award-winning bird sanctuary provides a forever home where previously caged birds can live a life of free-flight in a habitat as large and natural as is possible, as well as providing an extraordinary experience for their guests, who can walk through the beautiful grounds at their own leisure.

Discover the tranquility and beauty of the world’s largest bird sanctuary and all that it has to offer.
