Invicta Wildlife Fund invites you to a hike of a lifetime in the Valley of the Vultures.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know six of South Africa&#8217;s breeding vulture species are now listed as critically endangered? Vultures perform a number of important tasks which are vitally beneficial to humans, as well as the environment at large.<\/p>\n<p>With the words of Joy Adamson in mind: &#8220;Wildlife is something which man cannot construct &#8211; Once it is gone, it is gone forever&#8221;, the Invicta Wildlife Fund will host a conservation hike to give people the opportunity to learn and appreciate these creatures more.<\/p>\n<p>The unforgettable hike will stretch over two days in the Drakensberg Mountains. On the first day hikers (comfortable with intermediate level terrain) will cover 11km to the Tarn Cave and walk another 11km back to their cars the next day, after which they will travel to Underberg to visit the Wildlife ACT and the vulture feeding station.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-25797\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-283x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-283x400.jpg 283w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-696x984.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/valley-of-the-vultures.jpg 1061w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The two-day package includes a guide, dinner and breakfast, and a visit to the vulture feeding station.
