In video: Inside a bird hide in the West Coast National Park
The West Coast National Park is just inland from the secluded harbour of Saldanha Bay, which is just under a two hours drive from Cape Town. The 40,000 hectare provides a safe haven for thousands of seabirds, who roost on the sheltered islands and pristine golden beaches. This is a place to rest, to be with friends and family and enjoy the good things in life.
