Some Birding Sites

Highly recommended: Intaka Island at Century City - a 16 hectare wetland area with some 120 different bird species. It is very safe (24 hours security).

(See detailed directions in Afrikaans below)

Route from Stellenbosch:
R44 to Klapmuts, take N1 to Paarl
and the third exit to Paarl, shortly after you have crossed Berg River. At the stop turn left direction Wellington, R303. (In Southern African Birdfinder this is erroneously named R301 ?) Wine-farms on your left.
After some 1 -1 1/2 km you arrive at a circle, which you cross. Now you pass some industry buildings (Audi etc) and a robot, just go straight on, you pass one or two (?) more robots, still direction Wellington. You see Boland Stadion on your right. Shortly after the end of the industrial area you find a sign to Paarl Voëlreservaat, turn left and at the next stop turn right for a very short while, until you must turn left over the rail road up to the gate of Paarl rioolwerke.

Alternatiewe roete:

Paarl Hoofstraat, draai regs in Bergrivier Boulevard. Waar hy dood loop, draai regs (Optenhorst/Oosbosch). Draai links anderkant die treinbrug. Draai links oor die treinspoor waar die nywerhede ophou.
