Raptor Rescue Plettenberg Bay is a rehabilitation and awareness centre dedicated to birds of prey.
At Raptor Rescue Plett, we educate the public through informative guided tours and flying demonstrations through which we promote awareness about raptor species and the conservation risks they face. Our rehabilitation work is predominantly funded through admissions to the centre and your support in visiting us is greatly appreciated.
We are situated at the Heath Complex on the N2, just outside Plett on your way to Knysna.
Join us on a 1 hour guided tour of the centre, where you will learn about our resident birds as well as experience some of our trained birds demonstrating their skills in our open-air flying area.
We have a variety of birds, from our smallest the Southern White-faced owls to our largest the Black or Verreaux’s Eagle. We cover a wide range of topics that include conservation, habitat, and diet, tours are educational yet fun ensuring that your and your children’s attention and imagination are captured.
