Umgeni River Bird Park

Umgeni River Bird Park, located in Durban North along the Umgeni River, is a vibrant sanctuary just ten minutes from the city centre. Visitors can wander through walk‑through aviaries, admire waterfalls and lush vegetation, and enjoy close encounters with exotic birds. A highlight is Africa’s first free‑flight bird show, held daily, featuring owls, cranes, hornbills, macaws, and vultures demonstrating natural behaviours in unrestricted flight. Notably, the park was built in an old quarry and places strong emphasis on conservation and education. With its diverse species and engaging presentations.
