Birder’s paradise!
The 34,000Ha De Hoop Nature Reserve is a world-renowned birding spot and sports over 260 resident and migratory species.
Watch the raptors that love to soar along the ridges overlooking the De Hoop plains; it was the Lanner Falcon, the feathered missile of the Overberg, that inspired the name for Falcon Ridge.
The De Hoop vlei is a RAMSAR -designated wetland which attracts a huge number of waterfowl and the Potberg is the Western Cape’s only remaining breeding colony of rare Cape Vultures.
