The African Raptor Centre, set within Tala Game Reserve, is a safe-haven to a wide selection of Southern African raptors.
This working facility is dedicated to the conservation of indigenous raptors and a base for ongoing research, breeding and rehabilitation projects for birds of prey. The majority of these projects run ‘behind the scenes’ to ensure that the integrity of the wild birds is not compromised and that a high release success rate is achieved. The Centre is also, however, home to a wide selection of captive-bred or ‘non-releasable rehabilitation’ raptors.
Education about birds of prey, and the threats that they face, is an important part of conservation. Research is only effective when the results of the projects are shared with the greater public. Conservation methods can be successfully implemented when people know and understand what both the raptors and related conservation projects are all about. We Educate in order to Conserve.
The Bred4theWild Program, headed up by founder Shannon Hoffman has relocated to the cooler Underberg area, where the bearded vultures are flourishing.
We would like to introduce you and your family to the raptors, in all their magnificence. A specially trained group of raptors are flown in daily flight displays at 10.30. These demonstrations allow the raptors themselves to be both teachers and ambassadors for their wild counterparts. Meet our feathered residents including eagles, owls, vultures, falcons, kites, kestrels, buzzards and the secretary bird in their species specific enclosures by any guest who wishes to visit and learn about South Africa’s magnificent aerial predators. On weekends and public holidays, you can watch vultures eating at 12.30.
