Discover different vulture species along Pokojwe Road in their natural habitat and enjoy the scent of wild sage.

What you can experience here

Tall trees grow along Pokojwe Road and serve as nesting sites for vultures. With a bit of luck you can spot white-backed vultures, hooded vultures and Cape vultures here. As you drive through the bush, you are accompanied by the scent of wild sage – a typical feature of this landscape. Contrary to their reputation, vultures are very clean animals that bathe regularly and then stand in the sun with their wings spread to dry. These monogamous birds play an important role in the ecosystem, as they clear away carrion and so help reduce the spread of disease.
