Birds of Eden

"Birds of Eden, near Plettenberg Bay Suitable for all ages Birds of Eden is situated next to Monkeyland and is a giant aviary set in the forest – in fact the largest aviary in the world. My family enjoyed the Birds of Eden more than Monkeyland as you are not guided. So are free to explore at your own pace. The aviary incorporates the indigenous forest and waterfalls by using elevated walkways. I recommend the small bird identification book on sale at the entrance as this increases your kids’ enjoyment ten-fold. The kids race to identify as many birds as possible. Allow at least one hour and preferably more. There’s a restaurant at the end of the aviary and a shop. Next door is Monkeyland which younger children may enjoy. Entry to Monkeyland is free, yet this only entitles you to spend time on the forest deck, which also doubles as a restaurant.  You may not access the Monkeyland forest without a guide and guided tours are charged. However, personally, we find it too contrived and touristy. Price Category: Moderate to Mid-Range (if get combo ticket) Current prices are R380 per adult and R190 per child.  Children under the age of 3 are free. These prices are a day rate per sanctuary (Birds of Eden / Monkeyland / Jukani). Combo tickets (2 sanctuaries) are R590 per adult, half price for kids. Triple tickets (all 3 sanctuaries) are also available. The Combo and Triple tickets will be cheaper than buying the tickets separately.
