We visited in September 2016 after planning the trip to Croatia especially to see the vultures, which i had found out about whilst studying wildlife conservation at uni. The centre is out in the middle of nowhere but there is a bus service. It was really nice to see all the hard work Goran and his team put in to save these birds. The centre has a lot of educational bits to look at as well as the viewing of the birds themselves.

I'm really glad we made the trip as the people were really informative, welcoming and friendly, they even gave us a lift back into town!…

Admission is Kuna 30 (about $4.50) which is high compared to other attractions in the area, but this is a private rescue center and I can see how much they need the funds.…
