New bird watching routes in Midvaal and Sedibeng
A partnership between Sedibeng Tourism, Gauteng Tourism, the Vaalnest Boutique Hotel, other stakeholders and SA Birding has created two new bird watching routes in the area - the Midvaal route and the Sedibeng route.
Following a water bird count which revealed 73 different species of water birds living in the Vaal area, the Vaal dam was proclaimed an Important Birding Area (IBA) in 2003. The opulence of birdlife is still observed today.
"The routes will provide the local community, as well as visitors from other areas, with the opportunity to increase their knowledge of birds and simply enjoy viewing the different species that make up the rich birdlife in the area," said Keith Attwell, GM of the Vaalnest Boutique Hotel.
