South Coast is privileged to have a resident breeding colony of over 400 Cape Vultures on our doorstep at Oribi, near Port Shepstone. Allowing close up and personal encounters with these magnificent birds.

From easily accessible cliff vantage points, you can observe the vultures soaring along the ridges, flying above, below and at eye level.

Watch as they perform stunning formations and hear the rush of air through their feathers as they glide past, sometimes within just meters.

This is a truly memorable (and has been described as almost spiritual) experience.

Just a short drive from the tar road at Oribi and you are there.

No 4x4 roads to navigate, no mountains to climb, no long hikes.

Located close to the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve in Kwazulu-Natal, the Barry Porter Memorial Vulture Viewing Hide is a highlight on the local tourist route. Because visitors and photographers are able to observe Cape Vultures in their natural habitat. Oribi buck and Black-backed Jackal are also be encountered.

ADVANCE BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL AND TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED.

When compared to a similar experience offered in the Western Cape, our visits truly offer incredible value for money. But we also offer 4 hour morning photography sessions.
