Where No Vultures Fly is a 1951 British adventure film directed by Harry Watt and starring Anthony Steel and Dinah Sheridan. It was released under the title Ivory Hunter in the United States.[2] The film was inspired by the work of the conservationist Mervyn Cowie.[3] The film's opening credits state that "the characters in this film are imaginary, but the story is based on the recent struggle of Mervyn Cowie to form the National Parks of Kenya."[4][5] The title Where No Vultures Fly denotes areas where there are no dead animals.[2] The film has a sequel, West of Zanzibar.[6]
