Greater Makalali Private Game Reserve has more than 250 bird species recorded. Migratory birds are present from November to April. Being a typical Big Five private game reserve, Makalali isn't really aimed at serious birders. The birding is good, but it’s a good idea to make arrangements for private drives, prior to arrival to avoid disappointment.
