Bird Watching

South Africa is home to a myriad of indigenous bird species, among the most diverse in the world, meaning that on any given birding excursion you can enjoy ample spotting opportunities. Furthermore, the birding community in South Africa is large, dynamic, and enthusiastic. Not only has this led to large infrastructure being set up around the country to improve the experience, but there are also several birding events that take place all over the country – attended by local and international bird enthusiasts.

So, whether it’s the community side of things that attracts you or you’re simply an avid bird enthusiast looking to spot some rare species, South Africa has it all when it comes to birding. However, if you want to elevate the experience further, you’ll want to have a good understanding of the best places to visit and which Bresser binoculars and equipment you should bring along. Let’s delve into these considerations below:

Incredible Birding Locations In South Africa

As mentioned above, South Africa is home to a wide variety of distinct biomes, each with its own unique bird species. From marine birds like the famous Capetonian jackass penguin to the beautiful Knysna loerie, or our grasslands that are home to countless finch species – we are truly blessed with a multitude of bird-watching locations to visit. Some of our favourites include:

Mkhuze Game Reserve: Home to over 400 different bird species, Mkhuze is considered to be one of the best birding locations in the country. Situated in the north of KwaZulu-Natal, the game reserve houses several different biomes, from ravines and forests to grasslands and rocky cliffs. On your birding adventures, you can run into some rare species, like the southern-banded snake eagle or the blue-mantled crested flycatcher.

South-West Cape Coastline: If you’re keen to see something truly unique, then you may want to participate in what is referred to as pelagic birding, which involves the viewing of birds that live predominantly in the open ocean. The Cape coastline is home to the Benguela current, which enormous amounts of fish call home. This attracts some truly incredible birds like the northern royal albatross, petrels, and gannets, all of whom hunt and feed off this seemingly endless supply of fish.

The Bresser Range

Due to the variety of different environments you may find yourself in while bird watching in South Africa, you will want to make sure you have a quality pair of Bresser binoculars and some durable camera equipment on hand. Luckily for you, Futurama, in partnership with Bresser, has everything you need to prepare for one of these exciting excursions. Here are a few recommendations:

Bresser Pirsch ED 10x42 Phase Coating Binoculars

When considering different top-of-the-line binoculars, the Bresser Perch ED 10x42 Phase Coating Binoculars is sure to stand out. For bird watching, you will want a pair that has a great magnification. You don’t lose any quality with the specially-formulated high-performance ED glass, which ensures an HD experience. Furthermore, this piece of equipment is ideal for people who wear spectacles as it has a wide dioptre range. With the hard rubber housing, they are also made to last, no matter the environment you find yourself in.

Bresser Camera Adapter

If you are keen to take pictures of the pelagic bird species discussed above, then this Bresser camera adapter may be the ideal tool for you. It allows you to connect your DSLR camera to a telescope, which, as you can imagine, greatly extends your viewing range and detection abilities. Although this is generally used for astrophotography, it could be the perfect addition to facilitate optimal long-range photography of birds in the open ocean.

Hiking And Backpacking

Hiking and backpacking are outdoor hobbies enjoyed all around the world, with world famous hiking trails like the Appalachian Trail in the USA, the Tour du Mont Blanc in continental Europe, or even parts of the Mount Everest Trail in Asia. South Africa is no different, with hiking and backpacking being extremely popular activities in the country.

South Africa truly offers a unique hiking experience. Not only does our country offer some of the most scenic routes in the world, with interior and coastal trails exhibiting the natural beauty of the country, but due to the variety of biomes we have access to, you can travel from the coast to the mountains and, pass through lush forests or bushveld along the way.

Combine this with the truly breathtaking number of animal species you can encounter, from the big five to fascinating insects and reptiles, and you have a wealth of world-class hiking opportunities at your disposal. With all the incredible sights along our country’s amazing hiking routes, you will want to make sure you bring along your Bresser binoculars to enhance your viewing experience and ensure you don’t miss a thing. Let’s look at some of the routes you may want to explore with your pair of binoculars on hand.

Places To Visit In South Africa

From short forest walks to multi-day backpacking experiences, in South Africa, we have it all. Some of the most popular routes are known world-wide and host thousands of international hikers every year. Some routes are so popular that you need to book in advance if you want to experience them, as the National Park Service only allows a limited number of hikes per season in order to protect the local fauna and flora.

The Otter Trail: This is one of the county’s most popular and well-known hiking trails. This is a five-day hike beginning at the Storms River Mouth close to the Eastern Cape, following 42 kms of coastline to its final destination in Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape.

The Drakensberg: In the interior regions of South Africa lies the world-famous Drakensberg mountain range, which houses several exquisite hiking trails. These are shorter routes and can typically be completed within a day. Some of the routes that we recommend include the Rainbow Gorge, which takes about five hours, or – for something a little more strenuous – we recommend the truly unique Amphitheatre Hike, which takes about seven hours.

Bresser Condor 8x42 Binoculars

When heading off on a challenging hike, you want a pair of binoculars that are not only compact but also versatile. For a product that embodies both characteristics we recommend the Bresser Condor 8x42 Binoculars. They provide extremely high-definition images with their UR coated Bak-4 prisms, as well as an impressive 8x magnification. The condor range also comes with a hardy tripod adapter, allowing you to shift from portable to mounted binoculars in only a matter of few seconds, making them excellent for extended viewing sessions.

Bresser Messier MCX-127 GoTo Telescope

This incredible telescope is among the finest. Not only does it have a focal length of 1900mm, but it also comes with a range of amazing features – from its compact design to its Maksutov-Cassegrain optics for high resolution, but that’s not all. It even has a smartphone holder, allowing you to connect your phone to the telescope for mobile photography.

Marine Exploration

Just like the bird-watching opportunities or the backpacking routes, South Africa also has a truly unique, beautiful, and biodiverse coastline. This includes Cape Agulhas, which is the southernmost tip of Africa and the point where two major oceans meet, namely the Indian and Atlantic ocean.

Our nation has a truly historic and storied tradition of coastal and marine exploration and other outdoor activities, with large, thriving communities. Whether you are looking to do some sailing, explore the unique tidal pools, or experience the amazing marine life by shark cave diving or whale and dolphin watching, the South African coastline has it all.

The Bresser Range

When it comes to coastal and marine exploration, you want a premium pair of binoculars that provide you with great image quality while also being able to handle the environmental conditions, so in that case, we recommend:

Bresser Pirch ED 8X34 Binoculars

The Bresser Pirch ED 8x34 Binoculars are perfect for an exciting trip out to the coast. Not only does it have rubberised housing, which makes it extremely sturdy and waterproof, it is also designed with an argon purged viewing tube that is ultra-effective against fogging – a common issue when using binoculars near the ocean. Combined with its brilliant visual acuity supported by the high-performance ED coated lenses, these binoculars are a must-have for coastal exploration.
