Organise a birding weekend in the Upper Wilge Biosphere

There is a Birdlife Africa guide that is based in the area and we can arrange for him to lead your tour.

We have the 6000 ha Ingula Nature Reserve, local farmers with around 50,000 ha of conservation area that offers unique bird watching opportunities.

At Oban Historical Guest Farm, Thea will help you with the coordination of tours for birding groups staying at Oban.
