Food consists exclusively of fresh or already decaying carcass, especially the internal organs; the muscular meat as well as bone chips from medium to large mammals are eaten. In large parts of the breeding area where wild game is lacking, cape griffon vultures are dependent on dead livestock such as sheep, goats and cattle. The birds can tear open the skin of larger mammals with their powerful beaks; the long and predominantly bare neck ensures it's able to reach deep inside the carcass for the internal organs. The goiter can hold more than two pounds of meat.

The food search is carried out at altitudes between 150-1,500 feet or higher as they ride the thermals. The animals search directly for carrion on the ground, but also indirectly by the observation of ground-living predators and above all by the observation of other carnivorous birds in flight.
