Community Service Projects

Get Involved in Vulture Conservation

Join us for a rewarding day of community service at Vulpro!
While you will not handle the birds, your efforts will directly support their care and conservation. Get involved in essential tasks like cleaning enclosures, collecting nesting materials, preparing food, and assisting with general maintenance of the premises.

The Rehabilitation Centre

At Vulpro’s Rehabilitation Centre, our goal is to return all fit and flight-ready birds to the wild as soon as possible. For those that cannot be released, the centre provides a safe sanctuary where they can live out their lives comfortably. Every bird contributes to our education, research, and breeding programmes, helping to secure the future of these remarkable species.

The centre is home to a variety of birds of prey, including:

  • Cape Vulture
  • African White-backed Vulture
  • Lappet-faced Vulture
  • White-headed Vulture
  • Martial Eagle
  • African Fish Eagle
  • Andean Condor

The Vulture Viewing Hide

At Vulpro’s Vulture Viewing Hide, visitors can safely observe and photograph vultures up close. Situated about 12 metres from the vulture restaurant, the hide comfortably accommodates up to four photographers, making it suitable for both experienced and novice bird watchers.

Booking the hide does not include access to the resident birds inside the centre. If you would like a tour of the facility, please let us know so a member of our staff can guide you around.

Wild Cape Vultures often visit the hide, roosting and breeding on the cliffs of the Magaliesberg, along with occasional Marabou Storks. Other species regularly seen include Black-breasted Snake Eagles, Yellow-billed Kites, Crimson-breasted Shrikes, Speckled Pigeons, Waxbills, Thrushes, and Cattle Egrets.
