Umvikeli

Valley of Vultures: Umvikeli!

The enclosure has been given the Zulu name Umvikeli, which means 'protector'. This impressive 2000 m² aviary offers a safe haven to endangered Rüppell's vultures. The vultures live here together with white-headed vultures, hooded vultures and Egyptian vultures. Many other special African birds such as hoopoes, secretary birds and tricoloured glossy starlings also inhabit the area. It is a wonderful example of how Avifauna continues to innovate and invest in animal welfare.

Well maintained. Friendly, permanent staff, good food. A bit pricey, though.

Separate room with dedicated staff, who were very friendly and helpful. The price difference compared to the winter season is unjustifiable. We celebrated our 76th birthday perfectly.
