Dust rises under the 4x4 as the vehicle pushes off the sealed road into open mopane and savanna. Within minutes the Victoria Falls townscape falls away and the air smells of sun-warmed earth; the guide points to a distant lump of bark and root — an enormous baobab — before the convoy slows at the vulture hide.

Bring binoculars or a telephoto lens

Maintain silence and stay inside the hide to avoid stressing birds and disrupting the feeding protocol.
