About this tour
The Montecasino Bird Gardens school tour, in Fourways, Johannesburg, is a delightful CAPS-aligned Life Sciences excursion for Foundation, Intermediate and Senior learners. The four-hectare gardens are home to hundreds of birds, small mammals and reptiles, all set in lush walk-through aviaries.
Learners explore the gardens at their own pace with the help of detailed information boards on every enclosure, and the day is anchored by the famous 20-minute flight bird show — eagles, parrots and owls in action. It is open Wednesday to Friday and ideal for biodiversity and conservation lessons.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, gardens entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested Life Sciences school tours in Gauteng.
