I came across the African Bird of Prey Sanctuary on the road to the Lion Park, near PMB, and was blown away. It provides a dignified and caring home for well over 70 raptors, owls and vultures that, for one reason or another, no longer can fend for themselves. The most recent addition is a Bearded Vulture or lammergeyer (Gypaetus barbatus), the only captive BV in the world, that was confiscated from a traditional healer in Lesotho who used her for divining purposes. She was kept in a goat shelter for 5 years and, unable to do what these birds do naturally, now has a new home. It is hoped in time she will breed and for the offspring to be released in the wild.
A good time to visit the sanctuary is during flight displays, and vulture feeding time. It also makes for the perfect family outing. www.africanraptor.co.za
