With over 250 bird species recorded, the Tsau //Khaeb (formerly Sperrgebiet NP) is a great birding destination. There are several islands offshore which are important breeding sites for colonies of seabirds. Ichaboe Island is inhabited by a large population of African penguins. Aside from seabirds, the park is very good for wetland birds, which can be found at the mouth of the Orange River. Migratory birds are present from November to April.
