Victoria Falls Safari Lodge was acknowledged this week for their vulture conservation work. The Lodge has a regular 'vulture restaurant' feeding station where they feed the vultures and where visitors can learn about them from the resident guide. The vultures are fed everyday at 1pm every day in front of the Buffalo Bar to give visitors the best view of these magnificent and often maligned birds.
Stefan Rust, of BirdsConTour, came from Namibia to award Victoria Falls Safari Lodge the award for the their work. BirdsConTour is an organisation that brings together conservation and tourism, with a focus on birds.
