About the Victoria Falls One Loft Race

Victoria Falls is widely known as one of the biggest and most competitive One Loft Races on the planet. Located in Zimbabwe, hundreds of fanciers from around the globe send their very best pigeons in to compete for a chance at taking home a piece of the $1.5 million dollar payout. Upwards of 7,000 pigeons are entered and only the best of the best survive.

What draws people in at the end of the series is the auction. PIPA puts on an incredible auction showcasing all the top pigeons from the series. The best pigeon fanciers from around the world purchase these pigeons in hopes of breeding top pigeons like themselves.

I was fortunate enough to purchase FOUR top 23 ace pigeons from Victoria Falls, the same year that Marple won the final race (now owned by Mike Ganus). These pigeons were at the top of the sheets week after week beating several of the worlds best to offer. I would like to thank a very good friend of mine for the opportunity to buy these proven racers and breeders!
