Largest bird park in Africa
Important notice
Dear Visitors,
we would like to inform you that due to rising operational costs we will be adjusting our entry and membership fees starting 1 May. This decision was not made lightly and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience it may cause.
Your support helps us care for our animals and maintain a safe, enriching environment for both wildlife and guests. We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Warm regards,
The World of Birds Team
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a top 5 place in the Best Animal Parks in Cape Town in the Tourist Attractions category for Winter 2024.
No advanced booking necessary, just drop by. Tickets are available at the entrance. Find ticket prices here.
Over 3 000 birds (and small animals) of 400 different species are uniquely presented in more than 100 spacious landscaped walk through aviaries, allowing you the most intimate closeness with nature.
A tropical garden setting in the Hout Bay Valley is the environment in which the aviaries are spaced over 4 ha of land, framed by the back of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles, Constantiaberg, Chapman’s Peak and Little Lion’s Head. A paradise for nature lovers and photographers, the World of Birds is one of Cape Town’s premier tourist attractions which no visitor should miss.
100 000 visitors annually enjoy the outing to the World of Birds.
What you can expect
The Sanctuary also serves as hospital, orphanage and breeding centre, caring for injured birds and animals, and breeding of many bird and animal species behind-the-scenes. Some threatened species successfully bred include our national bird the Blue Crane, the Bald Ibis, the NeNe or Hawaiian Goose, and several rare South American Marmosets and Tamarins.
Over the last 35 years, we have cared for over 40,000 birds and animals with no support whatsoever from any official or corporate structure. Please consider making a donation to help us continue this work.
By bringing wildlife to the City and bringing people and animals intimately closer together, respect for and understanding of nature is fostered and appreciation for God’s beautiful creation in its diversity is shared.
We have thirty-eight of these attractive, agile and highly inquisitive New World monkeys. They are extremely mischievous and quick (so make sure all your belongings are safely packed away in a bag!).
They live in a large walkthrough enclosure, which allows visitors to enjoy direct contact with them.
The Monkey Jungle is open from 11:30 – 13:00 and 14:00 – 15:30. More Information here.
