Program Highlights

Assist with the care of lions and a tiger saved from horrible backgrounds, many from private ownership and zoos in Ukraine, and help them learn to live like normal big cats again.

Relieve the boredom that living in captivity can bring to big cats by helping making fun animal enrichments for them to enjoy.

Immerse yourself in the fantastic wildlife surroundings on the reserve and see animals like giraffes, zebras, impalas, and antelopes.

Visit one of the fantastic Big 5 reserves in the surrounding areas in your free time or learn to surf, with South Africa's surfing capital just 20 minutes drive away.
