Rondevlei forms part of the larger False Bay Nature Reserve which includes other birding areas such as Zeekoevlei and Strandfontein.
Rondevlei Nature Reserve habitat includes a large seasonally fluctuating vlei (or lake) with areas of open water, reedbeds, lowland fynbos and strandveld . The summer months are dry and the lake often recedes some way from the shoreline at this time.
The area has a series of five hides and two observation towers along a short, well maintained footpath, plus a small museum. This makes Rondevlei Nature Reserve especially suited to the beginner. 225 species have been recorded to date. On an average day in summer 70 species may be seen, with 40 in winter when the summer migrants have departed.
Rondevlei’s entrance is situated at the western end of Fisherman’s Walk; at the corner of Fisherman’s Walk and Perth Roads (Fisherman’s Walk, Zeekoevlei 7945, the Reserve Supervisor 021 706 2404). Click on the P in the map for directions or coordinates. Opening times: 08h00 – 17h00 daily (except Christmas Day). A small entrance fee is payable. Picnic areas plus parking and public toilets are available.
