Berg River

Between Velddrif and Laaiplek lies the Berg River Estuary, rich in wetland habitats. Accommodations abound, and diverse ecosystems, including mudflats, salt marshes, and farmlands, support a wide variety of birdlife. Birdwatchers flock to witness Palaearctic migrant waders and terns, such as the Eurasian Curlew and Marsh Sandpiper, while rarities like the Little Blue Heron and Hudsonian Godwit make it a hotspot for rare species.
