Birdsong is a 40 min drive from the Cradle of Humankind as well as Sun City where elephant riding, a crocodile farm and the Gary Player golf course are great attractions. The Pilanesberg Game Reserve next to Sun City has great opportunities to see Africa’s “Big 5”. Birdsong is also close to the Kgwasane Nature Reserve with its fine selection of hiking trails. Rustenburg has no shortage of arts and craft galleries, farm stalls and eating venues. Hartbeespoort Dam with all its cultural villages is 30 minutes drive from Rustenburg. The German settlement Kroondal is 10km away. The rugged area around the town is excellent for mountain biking, and the surrounding nature reserves make for excellent bird-watching. The Royal Bafokeng Sports Stadium (Match host for the 2010 world cup) is less than 40km away.

"Birdsong is a quaint B&B in a quite region of Rustenburg that perfectly suits the needs of people wanting a weekend jaunt to Sun City, and or game drive in Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Suzanne, a warm and welcoming hosttess to her clean and private accommodation, treated us to a hearty English breakfast to cap off a lovely stay. Will definately call again."
