Birding in southern Africa is becoming more popular year
by year, causing establishments involved in tourism reacting to this market.
BirdsConTour (birds conservation and tourism) contributes to
this development by offering Bird & Birder Friendly Awards. These awards
are handed to establishments that cater in one or other way birdlife and
birding tourism.
Gorges Lodge near Victoria Falls is the second lodge that
got rewarded with such an award, a two penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly
Award.
Over quite some time, the lodge management supports
especially Verreauxs’ Eagle in their struggle of survival and combining this
project with an activity they offer to their guests – viewing of eagle feeding.
During a recent visit with a group of guests, Gorges Lodge
was recognised as a bird & birder friendly establishment.
