Exploring the wildlife of our beautiful city
Welcome to Our Wild Neighbours, an initiative dedicated to the fascinating world of urban wildlife in Cape Town. My vision for Wild Neighbours is to inspire an interest in the birds and small mammals that live amongst us and the growing imperative to live more consciously and considerately alongside nature in our city.
Increasingly around the globe our living world is becoming smaller, more fragile, and here in this southern-most corner of our continent, we have a unique opportunity to live with consideration for the wild neighbours that still live amongst us.

Join the wildlife sightings network
I have started the sightings network to learn more about wildlife in Cape Town and it would be great if you joined me on this venture. Sightings information will be available on this website, keeping you up to date with news of our wild neighbours.

We hope that your dawns will have an orchestra of bird song and that the opalescence of their colouring will dazzle you. We hope that you will be grateful for having been born into such a magical world… Gerald Durrell
