World of Birds is the largest bird park in Africa and one of the few large bird parks in the world.

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 hectares 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.

About 100 000 visitors annually enjoy an outing to the World of Birds.

The Hout Bay harbour, just 10km outside Cape Town, can be reached either along the scenic routes of Camps Bay and Llandudno or via Kirstenbosch and Constantia, or on the way to and from Cape Point Nature Reserve via the spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive.
