Valley of Vultures: Umvikeli!

The opening of the Vulture Valley is an important milestone for our park. This impressive 2000 m² aviary offers a safe haven to endangered vultures and other African birds. The enclosure has been given the Zulu name Umvikeli, which means 'protector'. It is a wonderful example of how Avifauna continues to innovate and invest in animal welfare.
