Selinda Concession offers wonderful birding opportunities. The riparian woodlands and grasslands offer a decent variety of species. The area is good for grassland birds such as ostrich, kori bustard and secretary bird. Many raptors have been recorded here as well. The ability to do walks and boat trips, in addition to game drives, increases the birding potential. Add to that first-class guides and any birder should walk away fully satisfied. However, serious birders might want to consider booking private activities.

Best Time for Bird Watching

Bird watching in Selinda Concession is terrific throughout the year. Serious birders, however, should make the journey here in the wet months, from November to April, as this is when summer migrants are spotted in the concession. Many of the raptors are resident and can be seen throughout the year. Wildlife viewing is best from June to December.
