Butterfly World, one of the more unique attractions of the Western Cape Winelands, consists of a tropical garden in a 1000 m2 green house. This luxuriant paradise makes the free flying exotic butterflies feel right at home.
The butterfly park is located at the cross roads of the Paarl, Stellenbosch and Wellington Wine Routes, near the small Boland town of Klapmuts. It is very accessible to the many tourists visiting the area.
Tropical butterflies are raised on breeding farms in countries such as Costa Rica, Philippines, Malaysia and China. Pupae are flown to display parks where the butterflies emerge into their tropical gardens.
The tropical garden which contains the butterfly flight area is about 1000m², and the greenhouse is covered by polycarbonated roof plates.
Their beautiful outdoor garden hosts a large aviary, a meerkat enclosure and lots of free range ducks, chickens and goats, waiting for children to feed them with packets of seeds and fodder bought from the gift shop.
