Coastal-forest birds
The high dune forest behind Sodwana’s beaches offers superb birding for anyone with a pair of binoculars and a slow morning. Between dives, or instead of them, the forest paths fill a surface interval perfectly, and the birding is rewarding in every season.
When and where to see them
The dune forest around the camps is alive with birds all year, and early morning is best for spotting them. Bring binoculars and take the forest tracks slowly; a beach and birding morning is the perfect surface interval.
