A diamond in the rough \u2013 The Umgeni River Bird Park<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/albertonrecord.dev.sites.caxton.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/11\/bird-park.jpg\")
Witness the artistry of nature at the Umgeni River Bird Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe bird park is a peerless haven of spectacular avian life. Situated on 3.5 hectares of emerald green sub-tropical landscape in an area that started life as a quarry, the Umgeni River Bird Park has been cultivated over 33 years to house a collection of more than 800 birds from over 200 species. Many of these aeronautical wonders can\u2019t be found anywhere else on the African continent, and, as a cherry on top of everything else, the park presents an exciting free-flight show from Tuesday to Sunday every week.<\/p>\n
Discover the pearl of Westville \u2013 Palmiet Nature Reserve<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/albertonrecord.dev.sites.caxton.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/11\/African_Fish_Eagle_AdF2-Medium.jpg\")
The king of the skies – an African Fish Eagle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAt 90 hectares, the Palmiet Nature Reserve is, by South African standards, not at all large. But, quality always trumps size, and if you haven\u2019t heard of the reserve before it\u2019s because people keep the best things in life well hidden from others. On self-guided trails, you may hear the clear calls of majestic Fish Eagles or spot playful vervet monkeys, genets, duikers, bushbuck or even porcupines. The stage may be small, but the cast of characters will keep you thoroughly enthralled.<\/p>\n
Africa\u2019s oldest surviving botanical gardens<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/albertonrecord.dev.sites.caxton.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/11\/botanic-gardens.jpg\")
Paradise on earth. Durban Botanic Gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFounded in 1849, the Durban Botanic Gardens has survived tough times, and is today a corner of natural bliss that has managed to keep the urban jungle at bay. With a myriad of indigenous and exotic plant species, and proud trees that are over a hundred years old, the Durban Botanic Gardens is ideally suited to those up for an enchanting stroll before sitting down to lunch in the city\u2019s premier picnic spot.<\/p>\n
Durban\u2019s one and only \u2013 Mitchell Park Zoo<\/h3>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/albertonrecord.dev.sites.caxton.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/11\/zoo.jpg\")
A cotton-top tamarin and suricate at the Mitchell Park Zoo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nZoos aren\u2019t for everyone; animals in cages can be a difficult sight. But, the Mitchell Park Zoo is leaps ahead in this regard, and the animals are well kept. Spurning the tradition of keeping large animals in small enclosures, the park has instead opted for diminutive faunas like flamingos, cranes, wallabies, small buck, raccoons, suricates, and cotton-top tamarins. Not to be missed are the truly astonishing Aldabra Giant Tortoises.<\/p>\n
