Wildlife

With 1000ha of pristine bushveld, our Wildebeest herd has grown to be rather large, and the Blesbuck are also flourising. Another common sight is Zebras, and hearing their unique call coming through the bush is an experience to remember.

At Bushfellows we take extra care to preserve special, rare and unique animals, and that is why we are proud of our herd of White Blesbuck, the rare Nyala, and even the exceptionally rare Sable. The eland are also a common sight, boasting with the fact of being the largest buck species on the African continent.

Apart from the larger game, the very peculiar African Hornbill is another common sight at Bushfellows, and often seen during the early evening is Spotted Eagle owls, and the more common Barn owl. Just spending time outside, one will easily notice the variety of bird calls sounding through the trees, and how busy the yellow breasted warblers are around their nests hanging from thin branches.

Rehabilitation is high on our list here at Bushfellows, and, for that matter, preservation and care of all animals. With an owl rehabilitation program, Bushfellows has successfully relocated numerous owls back into nature. Some however, due to various reasons, have to be kept in captivity and fed daily. The avairies they are kept in have been designed to ensure that they feel at home, even though they are limited.
