SOUTH AFRICAN SAFARIS and BIRDING TOURS :
Avian Leisure specializes in tailor-made safaris & birding tours in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia as well as botany tours, general nature tours and photographic tours. We cater for small groups wanting self-drive or guided tours. Our birding tours are run at your desired pace - intensive trips aim to cover as many habitat types as possible within the given timeframe - expect 500 bird species in a three week guided trip. Our tailor-made wildlife safaris take you to the best bushveld areas in search of the 'Big Five' - lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo & rhino.
ACCOMMODATION for BIRDERS & OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS :
Avian Leisure has a magnificent situation at the top of Froggy Farm, Simon's Town, overlooking False Bay and set amidst pristine Cape Fynbos - this means you can see whales, fur seals, penguins, sunbirds, sugarbirds and a host of other birds right from your bedroom!
Avian Leisure’s location in Cape Town makes it perfect accommodation for doing Cape Peninsula birding trips, pelagic birding trips, shark trips, whale watching trips, or just enjoying the natural beauty in the Table Mountain National Park
We have two spacious and modern FOUR STAR GRADED apartments, both with their own private entrances and ample off road parking.
