| The
Crowned Crane or Mayhem (referring to the birds call) at Imhoff's Farm,
Kommetjie.
The Nature Park at Imhoff's Farm up the
road from the Beach House is a breeding
center for the African Blue Crane. It
also has a selection of the giant flightless birds of the world and is
unlike your common zoo. The Nature Park uses a minimum of cages and
fencing, so it is a walk-through haven of bird-life and
friendly mammals.
It is home to a variety of African Cranes, mainly the
regal Crowned Crane and the Blue Crane, flightless birds (Ostrich, Emu,
Rhea and Cassowaries) Peacocks and Pelicans and many migratory birds.
Imhoff's Farm is the oldest farm in
South Africa and has been in existence since 1743.
