The sculpture park looks like a good birding spot

Not as good as where I was planning to go….

Strandfontein and somewhere else, depending on time (i.e. no time!)

Personally I have found both Kirstenbosch and Harold Porter a better birding sites than Strandfontein. And much easier to do birding without a guide (or two).

I love Strandfontein. Pretty much only waterbirds, but I had great opportunities every time i've been there.

Rondevlei which is just around the corner can aleo be good.

We enjoyed Kirstenbosch an Harold Porter without a guide.

We also enjoyed Stradfontein and Rondevlei with a guide :)
