SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary

The 5,000-hectare SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary contains diverse animal species including leopards, cheetahs, lions, impalas, kudus, wildebeests, rhinos, and elephants within natural surroundings.

Louise Joubert established the SanWild Wildlife Trust in 2000 after leaving her advertising career to focus on protecting animals from exploitation and commercialization.

The sanctuary maintains strong anti-poaching units with rangers and dogs patrolling the grounds, demonstrating South African commitment to wildlife protection.

Visitors can stay at Bukisa Camp, which provides tented accommodations while their payments support animal rescue operations and resource management at the sanctuary.

Ten lions rescued from South Africa's breeding industry now reside at the sanctuary, where they receive care and protection from future exploitation.
