Breeding pairs construct large stick nests high up in tall trees and will often exhibit a strong attachment to the nest site.
They may stay at the nesting site for an entire year.
Where Raphia Palms are present, breeding pairs will build a nest at the base of the palm fronds.
At the beginning of the breeding season, pairs soar together in an aerial display of rolling and diving, much more acrobatic than most vultures.
During each breeding cycle, a single, white and brown egg is laid, which is incubated by both sexes, over a period of four to six weeks.
Normally around 85 to 90 days after hatching, the young brown chicks will fledge.
