Be welcomed on arrival at the center and meet your personal guide, who will introduce you to the center and its conservation work with an educational video. Visit the Meerkat Meander afterward, where meerkats who have been confiscated have found a permanent home. Entering the leopard walkway with your guide, you will need to search to find the well-camouflaged leopard. See the cheetahs next, and learn about how their numbers are diminishing in the wild. Have amazing opportunities to take photographs of the cheetahs, leopards, caracals, and servals. Get a chance to go inside some of the enclosures (where it's safe), and be in close proximity to the cats. Finish your tour with a visit to the magnificent white lion when you take a walk high above on the lion walkway. Enjoy a leisurely-paced tour and plenty of opportunities to talk to your guide about the conservation work being done at the center and the animals that call it home. Re-visit your favorite cats a second time if you'd like.

Start your day at the Tenikwa Conservation Center helping the animal keepers with their early morning tasks as they do animal and enclosure checks around the center. Enjoy breakfast on the deck overlooking the marabou storks. Get to know the facility and the conservation work being undertaken there and get a tour of the place. Visit the different wild cats of South Africa accompanied by a guide and learn about the conservation issues facing the different species. Have some lunch, and then help out the guides in an enrichment exercise for the non-releasable animals, designed to keep up their quality of life in captivity. Enjoy a guided walk through the indigenous Tsitsikamma forest if time and weather permit. Spend the afternoon helping the animal-keeping staff prepare food for the animals and accompanying them to watch the feedings. Accompany the staff as they secure the animals for the night at the end of the day. Have plenty of time to interact with the staff and find out all about their conservation efforts.

Plant the love of wildlife in your children on a safari adventure at Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation & Awareness Centre. On this 1.5-hour tour, you and your young family will be introduced to an array of South Africa’s wildest animals. Prepare to be entertained and inspired with an introduction to the conservation efforts of the facility before setting off to meet meerkats and learning why—despite their cute demeanor—they make miserable pets. Walk through the owl house and visit Digger the friendly warthog. After this, you will visit penguins and other marine animals. The family will then be taken to visit the African wildcats, which you will have to spot using techniques and trail signs taught to you by your expert guide. Spot slender servals and camouflaged caracals on a walkway tour that leads up to the leopard and cheetah enclosures, designed to safely get you up close and personal with these majestic creatures. Finally, bid farewell to a grand white lion before your kids are awarded an EcoKidz certificate.
