Birding in Fish Hoek

Cape Town is home to diverse wildlife in pristine natural habitats. From wild baboons in stone pine trees, agile caracals on mountain slopes and cute penguins on beaches, to enormous whales of the deep blue sea and pretty tortoises dawdling on footpaths. This is the Deep South, the Southern Peninsula, and Fish Hoek is the centre of it all.

Stay at Seaside Cottages, the best self-catering accommodation on the beach, and discover the Mother City's wild side! We have wonderful facilities for groups - birders, conservationists, botanists, tree lovers, fynbos enthusiasts, hikers and whale watchers.

Birding in Fish Hoek is a feathery and musical thing. Stay at Seaside Cottages and revel in the vibrant sounds of birdsong filling the air in spring as diverse bird species emerge from their winter hiding places or arrive on their migratory routes from across the globe.

Fish Hoek is home to fantastic and diverse habitats for a vast selection of incredible bird species – ocean birds, rocky shore birds, dune and mountain birds, wetland and riverine species. Fynbos birds and birds of prey join garden birds and waterbirds to forage and sing all year round.
