People who enjoy nature, animals, wildlife on a reasonable budget who want a special experience and who choose to support genuine conservation projects
There are several wildlife tours on site that you can do (at extra charge). You can explore the forest (we have 20 hectares of indigenous forest) - discover the trails by yourself or book a guided forest walk (at extra charge). Relax, read a book, bird watching, excellent for nature photography
Our Story
Tenikwa is a heart-warming place with passionate owners and staff who care for animals. Not only the permanent non-releasable animals that call Tenikwa "home" but also wild animals from the area needing rehabilitation are brought to Tenikwa to be cared for and released back to the wild when ready. Although the impacts of CoVid have been significant, Tenikwa continues to find ways to carry on the work we do, giving guests the opportunity to experience Nature and learn about the indigenous wild cats of South Africa
We are a small team, made smaller by the impacts of CoVid, that is passionate about saving wild animals. We are friendly and helpful, and will go out of our way to make sure that you enjoy your stay.
