A ‘bird’s eye view’ of Africa – Morukuru-style

In terms of bird watching, enthusiasts will not be disappointed by the 340 bird species which call the rolling plains of the greater Madikwe Reserve area – and Morukuru, situated within this – home. From the cool dawn chorus of doves, to the magnificent sighting of the swooping Black-Shouldered Kite, or the dramatic shrieking of nightjars in the dusk, this is a bird lover’s paradise, packed with unforgettable experiences…Take, for example, the double-storey bird hide, which keeps a genteel watch over its accompanying dam. Fully solar powered, surrounded by an electrified fence for the guests’ safety, and fitted with toilet facilities downstairs, the bird hide has enough room upstairs to sleep a couple spaciously for a romantic evening by starlight, or a bird watching breakfast al fresco. On game drives morning and evening, guests will be further delighted by such birds as the Purple Roller, Brown-headed Parrot, Arrow-Marked and Pied Babblers, and Franklin – to name but a few.
