Cape Town and its surrounding areas offer a rich diversity of birding habitats; fynbos and renosterveld are the most dominant natural vegetation types but one will also encounter afromontane forests, the boulder strewn Cape Fold mountains, salt marshes, estuaries and off course unbelievable seascapes. The great botanical biodiversity has led to the Fynbos Biome being described as one of the six floral kingdoms of the world. The region has mostly a Mediterranean climate, with wet winters and hot dry summers.
The variety of bird species include up to 400 different species which includes a number of interesting endemic specials. Species only found here and nowhere else are Cape Sugarbird, Cape Rock-jumper, Orange-breasted Sunbird and Protea Seedeater. Others more easily seen here than elsewhere are Cape Siskin, African Penguin, Bank Cormorant , African Black Oystercatcher and Victorin’s Warbler.
