About Program

Our unique volunteer programme gives you a life changing opportunity to get truly involved behind the scenes with caring for rescued big cats. You will learn about the issues these cats face in captivity and in the wild, how to care for captive big cats, make enrichment toys for the animals and assist with feeding and maintenance. There is something for everyone, no matter what your background or interests are!

We also make sure to give you great experiences OFF the sanctuary! With weekly trips to nearby activities such as hiking, wine tasting, shark cage diving, whale watching and MANY more!

We are a true sanctuary for rescued big cats who have been saved from various, awful industries such as canned hunting and the tiger bone trade. We focus solely on animal welfare and education, we do not breed, trade, or allow public interaction with our cats.

We are looking forward to meeting you and sharing our dream with you!

Yes, I recommend this program

chose an ethical project, chose Panthera Africa!

You will not find any place like this. Panthera Africa is a true sanctuary were the animals are treated with as much respect as they possibly can by amazing staff and volunteers. The love for the animals shines through everything and the people you meet, especially the founders Lizaene and Cathrine, gives the best possible experience for people chosing to volunteer at this haven on earth. The sanctuary is set in an amazing scenery and there are many opportunities for volunteers to do other activites outside of the project. The most rewarding thing is to see how much the animals enjoy the enrichment they are given by the volunteers. This is a true sanctuary, so there is no physical interaction with the animals. The animals are very well taken care of mentally (alot of enrichment) and ofcourse physically (they all are well fed and look healthy). Chose an ethical project, chose Panthera Africa!
