Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation & Awareness Centre is located on the scenic Garden Route. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, The Garden Route is one of the world’s most bio-diverse hotspots, sustaining forty three percent of South Africa’s plant and animal life with over thirty terrestrial habitat types.
Tenikwa has grown to be one of the largest active wildlife rehabilitation centres in the Western Cape. Our facilities include a wildlife hospital, high-care stabilisation area, laboratory, marine rehab pools, raptor flight-fitness and other pre-release enclosures. We continue to invest in specialised equipment and upgrade our infrastructure as more and more species become endangered and rehabilitation becomes a management tool to sustain populations in the wild.
Using Tourism as a platform to give vital conservation effort exposure to thousands of people that visits us which also provide a sustainable form of funding for our rehabilitation facilities. Tenikwa practices Responsible Tourism principles and support sustainable business practices.
