About African Raptor Centre
Set on six hectares of scenic bushveld within the Tala Game Reserve, the African Raptor Centre offers a safe haven for a diverse array of indigenous raptors from southern Africa. Conveniently located with easy access from both Durban and Pietermaritzburg, this tranquil bird park invites you to experience South Africa's majestic aerial predators up close.
Visitors can witness these extraordinary birds in action during the 10:30 Flying Show, held from Tuesday to Sunday, and observe the lively Vulture Feeding Sessions at 12:30 on weekends and public holidays.
The African Raptor Centre is a dedicated conservation facility, engaged in ongoing research, breeding, and rehabilitation projects for indigenous birds of prey. While much of this important work takes place behind the scenes to preserve the wild instincts of the birds and maximize successful releases, the Centre is also home to several captive-bred or non-releasable birds. Guests are welcome to explore the species-specific enclosures and learn about these impressive predators.
Education plays a crucial role in raptor conservation, as public awareness is key to the success of these efforts. The Centre's mission is not only to protect these birds but also to share knowledge about the threats they face and the importance of their conservation. By educating the public, we aim to foster a deeper understanding and support for these vital conservation projects.
A key focus of the African Raptor Centre is to introduce the public to the beauty and magnificence of these birds. Specially trained raptors take to the skies in daily flight displays, serving as both ambassadors and educators. These demonstrations offer a rare opportunity to experience these elusive birds in action, and it is our hope that visitors of all ages leave with a newfound appreciation for South Africa's remarkable diversity of raptors.
