Description
South Africas forest birds are often sitting high in the canopy and it is sometimes hard to spot them. Therefore the aerial boardwalk makes it much easier to do so. Also the Dlinza forest is home to the Bronze-naped Pigeon, Spotted Ground-Thrush and the Buff-spotted Flufftail , which are maybe most easily seen in this particular forest.
