Bon Game Reserve – Mosselbay

Welcome to Bon Game Reserve in Mosselbay.  A place where the rhythm of nature plays out in its purest form—where the distant roar of a lion may be followed by the delicate call of a woodland kingfisher, and the stillness of the savannah is broken only by the whisper of wings overhead.

Our game reserve is not only home to Africa’s iconic Big Five, but also to an astonishing diversity of birdlife that captivates and delights enthusiasts from around the world. From soaring eagles riding the thermals above open plains to jewel-like bee-eaters perched along riverbanks, this land tells its story through feathers, flight, and song.

Whether you’re a lifelong birder armed with a detailed checklist or a curious newcomer with a pair of binoculars, bird watching here is a deeply rewarding experience—one that invites patience, presence, and a deep appreciation for detail. Our expert guides are always ready to help identify species, share their knowledge, and bring to life the subtle wonders that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Bird watching at a game reserve offers a unique blend of excitement and tranquility. While the larger wildlife may stir the heart, it is the birds that often stir the soul—each sighting a quiet triumph, a reminder of nature’s intricacy and grace.

As you move through this untamed landscape, take a moment to pause and truly see: a weaver meticulously crafting its nest, a fish eagle circling high above, or a lilac-breasted roller catching the sun in a burst of color. These moments are nature’s gifts—fleeting, magical, and unforgettable.
