Eagle Encounters

Eagle Encounters is a bird-of-prey rehabilitation, conservation, education and eco-tourism project.

The centre receives birds that have been injured, poisoned or illegally removed from their nests, and works towards re-releasing healthy, fit, successfully hunting and able-breeding raptors into the wild. A self-funded, non-profit organisation, Eagle Encounters’ core function is the rehabilitation of birds of prey. Guests to Spier are invited to ‘hold’ tame birds, as well as participate in the daily flying display.

Spier supports Eagle Encounters by donating land, water and electricity for its facilities on the estate.

Open daily from 10h00 to 17h00 (excluding Christmas Day). Call: +27 (21) 858 1826
