There is something special about waking up at Doornkop to the sound of birdsong.

Set across 2,000 hectares of unspoilt wilderness near Carolina in Mpumalanga, the reserve is home to more than 200 recorded bird species. With dams, rivers, open grasslands, rocky hillsides and bushveld all within the reserve, there is always something new to look out for.

Whether you are an experienced birder with a checklist in hand or simply enjoy seeing what appears outside your chalet in the morning, birdwatching is another wonderful way to experience Doornkop.

A Successful Day for Doornkop Conservation!

A big thank you to the volunteers who joined Saturday’s Silver Wattle eradication efforts at Doornkop.

Despite temperatures reaching 30°C, the team worked hard to clear the Black Pearl rock pools area, making a wonderful difference to this beautiful part of the reserve.

The day ended with a well-deserved braai and some time to relax together.

Following the success of the initiative, another eradication day is being planned. Keep an eye on our page for details!

Thank you to everyone involved for helping to protect Doornkop’s natural environment.
