Birdwatching in Cape Town

We had a nice time birding with Alfie in Cape town in June 26. We lucked out with the weather and the conditions were very good. 100 new bird species!

I had an absolutely fantastic day bird watching with Alfie! We saw an incredible 84 species, and his knowledge of the local birds was truly impressive. This tour was perfect for my one free day in Cape Town, and Alfie knew exactly where to go to find all the birds. Afterward, he sent a full list of everything we saw to keep for my records, which was a great touch! I highly, highly recommend Alfie, he's a fantastic guide and a fun person to spend the day with. Thanks for an unforgettable day!

A wonderful day with Alfie. Spent 3-4 hours in Kirstenbosch in the morning - beautiful gardens and lots of birds to be seen. Lunch at the tearooms was lovely and very reasonable. The afternoon driving round the various ponds around the sewage works was fantastic - loads of wetland birds including flamingoes and a nesting Sacred Ibis colony. I am a novice birder but am hooked!

Everything I could say about Alfie as a bird guide would be understating how good he is. Incredibly knowledgeable, very ethical birder and totally straight forward on setting expectations. Highly recommended a trip to local birding areas with Alfie.

A brilliant day of birdwatching! Alfie is a fantastic guide; knowledgeable, a good communicator and excellent company. An early start at Kirstenbosch Gardens ensured that we saw many species of birds in their beautiful natural habitat. After a delicious lunch at the Garden’s Tea House we headed for the False Bay Nature Reserve for more birds. A total of 77 species .. a great tally! Thanks Alfie.

Alfie was amazing in identifying birds from sound and sight! He knew where to look for which ones. He went the extra mile to list the birds so we can identify them in our photos later. He was as excited as we were and went the extra mile to find certain birds in the cold weather. A wonderful guide!

We were traveling to Africa for the first time and, as pretty avid birdwatchers, we wanted to find a guide to help us see these spectacular birds for the first time. We came across the reviewers for Alfie on TripAdvisor and instantly decided, just from the reviews, that he would hopefully be our guide. And he was, for a full day, with many many new birds (75 in all) as well as the company of just a wonderful interesting person. We had a wonderful day and hope that Alfie will be your choice as a bird/nature guide.

This was a fantastic birding day, Alfie is so knowledgeable about birds and butterflies and plants. The trip in his car was comfortable and there was snacks, drinks. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore a little more of Cape Town. Thank you Alfie for a memorable day.

Alfie is an incredible guide, and a wonderful person to spend a day with. Very kind and thoughtful. His knowledge of birds and plants makes him a rare expert in his field.

We booked a day tour with Alfie and had a great time. We saw the Penguins, Cape Point and a bunch of other interesting spots. We had a nice wine tasting and meal as well. Lots of fun and Alfis is a great guide and did a top notch job. We recommend him highly!! :)
