Activity itinerary

Berea

2h

Pigeon Valley is a little 10 hectare nature reserve in the center of Durban is named for the Eastern Bronze-naped (Delegorgue's) Pigeon, which was originally gathered here and documented by Delegorgue in 1847. It is considered to be one of KwaZulu-Natal's top birdwatching locations. A small portion of the once-vast Stella bush, which formerly covered a significant portion of the Berea, is preserved in the reserve. The vegetation is typical of climax coastal lowland forest, with several spectacular tree species—especially the uncommon Natal Elm, for which the reserve was first established—representing the forest. Look for Spotted Ground Thrush, Buff-spotted Flufftail, Green Malkoha, Green Twinspot.

A little lake surrounded by fascinating vegetation, such as papyrus, decorative bananas, and raffia palms, is an added feature.
