About Cape Vulture Nature Reserve
At Cape Vulture Lodge, our name means everything. We are dedicated to the conservation of more than 728 breeding pairs of Cape vultures nesting on the cliffs of the Northern Drakensberg Escarpment that towers above us. Their feathers form our logo and their protection underpins our ethos of sustainable, responsible tourism.
The lodge has been built with the breathtaking views and our resident vultures in mind. Each of our nine tented suites is positioned to make the most of the dramatic landscapes and afford great sightings of these majestic birds of prey as they soar effortlessly above the 1800ha Cape Vulture Conservancy - our slice of African wilderness just 26km from the South African safari capital of Hoedspruit, in the heart of the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere Reserve.
