Darlings!
This is one venue that you simply - if you have not already - have to visit! If you are - like me - a bird lover this is the place to be! Its a paradise for bird lovers! The Umgeni River Bird Park was designed and built by Dr. Alan Abrey. The Bird Park is situated in an old quarry site which used to contain water and was visited by Alan Abrey as a young boy growing up in Durban. When looking for a Bird Park site he remembered it as a perfect option and after a year of extensive land filling, landscaping and aviary construction the Umgeni River Bird Park was opened in April 1984 by the then Mayor of Durban, Sybil Hotz. In 1995 construction commenced on the Free Flight Bird Show arena and an American Bird Trainer was employed to train the Bird Park staff in show production and bird training. One year later the arena was complete and the first show was staged.
In early 1997 ownership of the Umgeni River Bird Park changed hands with the new owners upholding the philosophy of “INSPIRE TO CONSERVE” - something they really live up to. The Bird Aprk has a gorgeous tea garden and is a complete break from the hustle and bustle of Durban! Its the ideal venue to take your kids to learn about nature and nurture!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
