Glen Ormond is a haven for birding enthusiasts, offering a remarkable diversity of birdlife across the property. From soaring raptors like the impressive crowned eagle and the unmistakable call of the African fish eagle, to the gentle presence of waterfowl drawn to the river at the foot of the estate—this is a place where nature thrives.
The surrounding area is particularly well known for its crane populations, including the elegant grey crowned crane. Visitors are often treated to the spectacular sight of large flocks—sometimes over 100 strong—gracefully moving through the fields.
Adding to the charm, flocks of smaller birds bring the gardens to life with their cheerful songs and lively movements. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or a casual observer, Glen Ormond offers the perfect setting to slow down, watch, and listen to nature at its best.
The gardens at Glen Ormond are a celebration of colour, texture and tranquillity. Carefully curated and lovingly maintained, they showcase a wide variety of plants that thrive in the Midlands climate, offering something beautiful in every season.
Wander along the rolling lawns and discover thoughtfully arranged flower beds, where each bloom has been placed with intention and care. From vibrant annuals to fragrant perennials, the gardens invite you to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the natural artistry around you.
This is the perfect setting for a quiet morning walk, an afternoon with a book under the trees, or simply to pause and breathe in the scent of the roses—because here, stopping to smell them isn’t just encouraged, it’s part of the experience.
