Description
Rooi-Els is the premier birding spot to find cape endemics such as Cape Rockjumper, Ground Woodpecker, Cape Sugarbird and Orange-breasted Sunbird to name a few. Birding is very easy along a wide dirt road, closed at one end, so no cars.
The top birds are mostly found to the east (left) of the road. Look amongst the boulders for the rockjumpers.
