Panthera Africa NPC

Panthera Africa is an environmentally friendly sanctuary for any captive bred big cats, where they will be protected, enriched and given a prosperous life for the rest of their lives. We are one of few real ethical big cat sanctuaries in South Africa, where no breeding, trading or interaction take place.

One of Panthera Africa’s main purposes is to be an educational platform where we create awareness about conditions big cats face in captivity, and how animal welfare and enrichment play a vital role in giving them the best captive life possible. We are offering educational visits for visitors and will educate you about each species and their individual uniqueness, in addition to their heart-warming personalities (prebooking only – see contact details).  We are a blue print of how a non-profit sanctuary, focusing on animal welfare, can become self-sufficient, and we aim to change all breeding facilities into sustainable, ethical programmes.
