We came to the Eagle Encounters show as part of our day trip to Spier. It was very informative, and great value. I enjoyed getting close to all of the birds of prey, and my favourites were the dancing barn owls! You could really tell how much all of the animal handlers love their animals and this is so important. More

We visited Eagle encounters while enjoying a lunch at spiers winery and we can't say enough about the place, 30 Rand entry which is next to nothing and you get a great feel up close for Afican Birds of prey. My Sons, teenagers loved it and it is wonderful the work these people do. most of thsse birds were saved... More

Plenty of interesting and different raptors viewed at very close range. The Martial Eagle is rather special! Also, excellent 'flying displays' with very informative 'rangers'. More

This place is just awesome. The wildlife is well looked after. I had arranged for my son to have a personal encounter with a Black Eagle. The young man who assisted him was absolutely professional from the get-go. Although our time was limited as we only got there a bit late, they also let you go into one of the... More

Right next door to the Cheetah outreach on Spiers Wine estate, the Eagle Encounters allows you to get close up with birds of prey. They have loads there!! You can also get your photo taken holding an Owl which was pretty cool! The birds seem happy enough about it too. It was R30 each to get in (no discounts for... More

All the birds at the sanctuary have either been orphaned or have otherwise been rescued/need help . A well informed guide explains how they assist the birds to return to the wild and... More
