Birdwatching is the activity of observing birds in their natural habitat, undoubtedly a ridiculously cost-effective hobby that can even be done in your own backyard. However to see the best of what Mpumalanga has to offer look no further than the town of KwaMhlanga, also known as the cultural heartland of the Ndebele tribe. Furthermore, it has an impressive collection of fauna, flora, mammals and reptiles.
Audiences of any age and demographic enjoy birdwatching (especially in Mpumalanga) therefore you shouldn’t be any different. Additionally, Bird watching has been known to have great health benefits by allowing you to be verticle and hiking through the Mpumalanga grasslands. Take your eyes on a well-deserved break away from the constant blue light-emitting devices and allow yourself the satisfaction of watching the birds’ beauty and power of flight.
