The Karkloof Conservation Centre in Howick, South Africa, stands as a pivotal initiative within the ecologically diverse Karkloof Valley. This area, characterized by a harmonious blend of forest, wetland, and grassland set against the backdrop of agricultural activity, serves as a sanctuary for the endangered Natal mist-belt forest and its inhabitants, including a significant population of Cape parrots. Additionally, its grassland and wetland ecosystems provide crucial breeding grounds for Oribi and various crane species. The establishment of a Crane Interpretation Centre, alongside strategically placed hides and an expansive trail network, mark key efforts towards promoting biodiversity preservation.

    Beautiful birding spot. 2 hides at the 2 ponds. If you get lucky, you will see cranes (crowned, blue). Lots of waterfowl including coots, dabchicks, yellowbilled ducks, spurwing geese, Egyptian geese,.... Picnic spot too.

    Karkloof Conservation Centre is a beautiful place. The mountains form a background, with an abundance of birdlife at the little dams. There are also hides for viewing. Overall the place is well maintained and clean. Unfortunately there wasn't anyone at reception nor were any of our calls answered. Aside from that it's still a great place to visit.

    We always enjoy popping in to do some birdwatching here. The birdlife is abundant and one can see all three Cranes species here. The ablutions are always clean and the hides are well-maintained and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your farm with the public. Please make sure you pay your entry fee.
